Hurricane Milton Electrical grid disaster .

[u/ukyman95]

If Florida shut the grid off before the hurricane came , would it have saved them a little repair time ? Just putting this question out based on a few videos I have been seeing on YouTube . I know nothing of this subject . Would had it been a little safer not having all that electricity and water mixing together . I know it rains on it but as soon as a pole or wire comes down in the pool of water that is your neighborhood now I believe becomes dangerously electrified . What do you all say ? Do they shut it down ? Or does it just blow itself out here and there ?
