City of Winter Park reports minimal damage from hurricane

The City of Winter Park has shared that it experienced minimal effects from Hurricane Idalia’s landfall earlier this morning.

Only a few minor outages were reported and they have been fully restored as of noon today. Electric crews are currently working on restoring one small outage.

No downed limbs or trees were reported and all roads are clear with no flooding reported. Lakes that were drained prior to the storm are all within proper elevations and have plenty of room for any unexpected flooding.

All city parks, recreation facilities, and outdoor venues will remain closed today and there will be no yard waste pickup today. Yard waste will be picked up on Saturday, September 2.
