Power and weather behind internet outages in West Palm Beach
Florida Power & Light (FPL) customers averaged 702 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.04 interruptions each, against 1,322 minutes for Florida as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See West Palm Beach power outages when both go out together.
Palm Beach County logged 335 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, hail, and flood. Reports peak in April. Power outages were named in 15 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 47.1% of West Palm Beach homes, cable 90.4% and copper lines 55.3%. Cable is the main wired technology here. One neighborhood node feeds many homes, so a node fault usually shows up as a whole street offline at once.
