Our poor snowbird friends have to put up with 80-degree weather in February because of a massive blackout affecting 4+ million people throughout the Peninsula. Apparently, this started at FPL’s Turkey Creek plant, which has nuclear and conventional generators.
Speaking of the weather, local meteorologist Dick Fletcher, WTSP’s chief meteorologist since 1980, passed away this morning, eight days after suffering a massive stroke. The normally fierce local news competition paused today as Paul Dellegatto from WTVT and Steve Jerve from WFLA appeared on WTSP’s newscast to remember the long-time community member.
