At approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday, a broken palm tree limb blew into an overhead power line near U.S. Highway 192 close to Osceola Heritage Park, resulting in a power outage to 153 Kissimmee Utility Authority customers.
No damages were reported in Osceola County. The county's Emergency Operations Center was activated Tuesday morning, with emergency management personnel on call to help residents. St. Cloud's EOC also was activated. Both EOCs were still open at press time Wednesday.
