KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Officials say a power outage occurred throughout the lower half of the Florida Keys when a sailboat got stuck in transmission lines.
Keys Energy Services spokesman Julio Torrado says power went out for about 30,000 customers shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday.
The company says crews are working to restore power.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says a Marathon Fire Rescue crew was removing people from the sailboat about 10:30 a.m. It was not immediately known whether there are any injuries.
