We got some hurricane damage to lighting.

On the highway some truss arms with Philips Roadfocus LED were hanging from poles by wires, I noticed these have been removed.

That Cooper NEMA head and arm blown down here near me.

And at the church nearby, which had one remaining HPS NEMA head, noticed the refractor/reflector unit missing. Didn’t see it on the ground, so must have gotten thrown away. It does still work, but lots of glare. I remember after the last hurricane Ian, when there were several NEMA head still, there was one or two also missing, those all gotten replaced with Evlumas after.

Otherwise I didn’t see any damages.

From Hurricane Helene, there was a traffic light that got a big twisted up. And I'm not sure if was related but a fairly new pole was found broken on the bottom, stretching the lines quite a bit on it. It only had a streetlight though-

I actually didn’t see any broken poles in my neighborhood this time. They totally rebuilt the lines and replaced many poles on the main lines in my neighborhood recently, so I think that helped keep damages and downed lines to a minimum.

I did see a few traffic lights with bent backgrounds.
