What's the effect on air traffic? Nothing on the news except driving and homes being involved

what happens? I thought the electricity has been shutdown in South Florida? Is that FLL is everything normal situation but, it has no major delays or diverted at South Florida instead of PBI or MIA.

I live in downtown Fort Lauderdale, 3 miles from FLL, and my home and my neighborhood area never lost power. I heard the director of operations at FLL on the radio saying that FLL was completely unaffected by the outage - that in fact teir problem was the riple effect of the bad weather in other parts of the country. I'm not sure about MIA, but I suspect that generators would have provided sufficient power for the short duration of any outage.
