Duke Energy crews were restoring power near Old Dixie Highway and Vick Road.

The ONLY restaurant open at 4:00 PM was the He Hop Chinese restaurant in the Winn-Dixie plaza. Standing room only.

The traffic lights in on Main Street in downtown Apopka were not working. A generator was being used at Main and Park. Apopka Police officers were controlling traffic at Main and Central as well as Main and Edgewood/Midland.
