Power restored to Panama City port

Power was restored to the Port of Panama City (Fla.) on Oct. 13 following Hurricane Michael shattering the calm of the north-central Gulf Coast on Oct. 10. The Panama City Port Authority hasn’t been able to contact all of its employees, but most have been contacted for and are safe, said port authority director Wayne Stubbs. Most employees sustained some damage to their homes, and some have lost homes, he said in a prepared statement. The port sustained damage to multiple buildings, but there was no damage to the docks, cranes, and equipment. The port expects to offer limited terminal service for general cargo by the end of this week. Communication in the area remains unreliable. President Trump toured the region Oct. 15 to view the damage. (Source: Marine Link 10/15/18)
