By Times staff writers Afternoon storms knock out powerAbout 4,000 Florida Power customers in Hernando County were without power at 5 p.m. Thursday, a company spokeswoman said. Just after 6:30 p.m., there were 1,400 customers who still had no electricity, she said. The power outages were caused by storm-related damage to power lines and transformers. The spokeswoman said power would probably not be restored until between 9 and 10:30 p.m., because of the rural area and the extent of the storm. Another sinkhole reported to countySPRING HILL -- The Hernando County Office of Emergency Management received reports of a sinkhole opening in a retention pond at Delta Woods Park on Thursday evening. One caller reported that a power pole was near the growing sinkhole. About 6 p.m., staffers went out to the park to check out the reports. The sinkhole had not yet been confirmed.
