Hurricane Milton has resulted in over 3 million people losing power across Florida, with significant outages reported in counties including Volusia-Flagler and Hillsborough. Duke Energy Florida has begun restoration efforts, having restored nearly 350,000 outages since the storm made landfall. However, estimates indicate that some areas, such as Pinellas and Pasco counties, may not see power restored until next week. Lakeland Electric projects a full restoration timeline of at least 7 days. The situation remains critical, with utility companies mobilizing resources and crews from other states to assist in recovery efforts. Despite some progress, many residents, particularly in Central and South Florida, remain in the dark as the state coordinates widespread restoration efforts.
