Surgeons at Gulf Breeze Hospital and The Andrews Institute were able to complete operations already in progress, and classes continued as scheduled at darkened Gulf Breeze schools during a widespread four-hour power outage on Thursday, April 12.
Electrical power abruptly shut down at 10:57 a.m., and crews at Gulf Power finally restored power to the last of 12,800 affected customers at 3:19 p.m. The disruption forced some businesses to close while the hospitals and schools quickly enacted emergency contingency plans.
“Things actually went very smoothly at Gulf Breeze Hospital,” Administrator Dr. Bob Harriman said. “Our three emergency generators kicked in, and all of our critical-needs equipment maintained power.
“Our doctors were able to complete surgeries in progress, and other surgeries were postponed. Our staff was able to provide temporary lighting to patients’ bathrooms, which aren’t lighted by the backup generators, and the kitchen was able to serve hot meals to all patients. I couldn’t be more proud of the way the situation was handled.”
Chad Gilliland, Chief Operating Officer of The Andrews Institute, a Baptist Healthcare partner of Gulf Breeze Hospital, said: “While many of our afternoon physician appointments, X-rays and MRIs had to be rescheduled, our backup generator power allowed us to continue with time-sensitive appointments in rehabilitation and complete surgeries safely on patients that were in surgery at the time of the outage.”
According to Gulf Power spokesman Jeff Rogers, a power line on a pole in front of Aloha Wine and Liquor at 2631 Gulf Breeze Parkway somehow became separated from an insulator.
“Once we got eyes in the area, we discovered where the problem was and were able to isolate it and restore power to about 8,If you have a fondness for china mosaic brimming with romantic roses.000 customers promptly,” Rogers said. “At that time, all of Gulf Breeze Proper and a couple of chunks of Pensacola Beach (about 4,700 customers) were still without power.”

“Many things wear on the insulators such as age,Ekahau glass mosaic deployment in the Eastern Savo Region Hospital District. weather, the power load on lines,” Rogers said. “Lines expand and contract and are constantly moving. Parts wear. Everything mechanical has a breaking point eventually.
“The wire just came loose from the insulator. It wasn’t very dramatic to look at it when you saw it. The middle line came loose and was resting on the bracket below it on the bottom line.”
Principals and administrators at Gulf Breeze schools immediately took charge of the situation, and staff and students handled the inconvenience admirably.

“We lost the ability to illuminate all the classrooms,” he said. “Our emergency generator was operable, but it is limited in the areas that it can light. We manually rotated classes. Our food service folks were incredible. All transactions were documented with pen and paper; we had natural gas, and they were able to cook a limited menu. All students that wanted a lunch were served. We rotated through three lunch cycles and stayed, basically, on schedule. We stayed within 5-10 minutes of our regular class schedule.”
At Gulf Breeze Middle School, seventh- and eighthgrade lunch times were adjusted so students could enjoy hot meals.
“The kitchen had most of the food prepared and cooked for the day,” Assistant Principal Michael Brandon said. “Plus, they have a lot of food that doesn’t necessarily need to be heated. The stuff that was already cooked and heated, we wanted to make sure it was served so it wouldn’t go to waste.
“Our school is fortunate in that we have a lot of windows around the halls, plus we have emergency lights. Safety was not an issue. We stationed the teachers outside their doors monitoring the halls and ensuring the safety of the kids. We have such good kids here, though; they did what they are supposed to do.”
