The cable and power are still on the pole here in most of Florida unless there was a recent utility upgrade. Newer gated communities got underground services but the distribution up to their gate is still likely to be overhead.
The only thing buried in my neighborhood is the phone.
People are starting to understand bonding and grounding are very important for lightning mitigation. Ufers are now in the code but older homes are still sitting on pretty lousy ground electrodes most of the time. My house was floating when I got here and the first day I tried to use the cook top I got zapped. I was at the supply house buying a couple ground rods the next morning.
Every significant chunk of concrete I have poured since was incorporated into my GES.
