Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:03:31 PM

Florida is experiencing a widespread power outage affecting schools, traffic lights, businesses and more after 2 nuclear generators in south Florida went down.

News 13 has had reports from people in Volusia, Brevard, Lake and Orange counties of power outages and are working on reports from those areas.

Early reports from the Associated Press say the areas of Miami, Doral, Westchester and Pembroke Pines are without power as well as the Port of Miami.

Police officers are shown on live television directing traffic at intersections in downtown Miami. Many stop lights are out and some stores have closed because they are without power.

Miami-Dade Police Department spokesman Nelda Fonticiella told WSVN-TV that they are working with Florida Power & Light to access the situation. It is unclear how many people are affected.
