North Florida is battened down as a storm turns that part of the state into a "winter wonderland." Governor DeSantis says he's not expecting the rare winter storm to take millions offline, like a hurricane. But he says there could be isolated problems. There are closures, delays and cancelations as a result of Winter Storm Enzo.
Even power outages are impacting millions of people across southern states, including ours. According to PowerOutage.us, more than 37,000 customers were without power as of 7:50 a.m.
