And I'm sure you have all the proper documentation of their failure.
No but I have seen it.

The picture of a concrete pole broken in half shows how powerful the winds actually were.
Not when it was pulled over by a defective wood pole supporting a transformer bank.

This is the base of a failed pole that was supporting 235 Kv transmission lines. Nice eh?

 I first hand believe FPL has not inspected their wooden poles. My neighborhood is filled with old rotten wooden poles that always get knocked down and not necessarily in the strongest of winds.

A couple of tropical storms ago a wooden pole on my lawn fell onto my driveway, not during the winds but about 4 days later causing my block to go without power for 2 days and me without power for about 2 weeks. The replacement pole looks it was picked up on the street on the way here.

I agree that politicians and newspapers aren't always credible but CEO's aren't any better.
