Hurricane Milton Leaves Millions Without Power in Florida
The aftermath of Hurricane Milton has left over 400,000 residents without power across Florida, with significant outages reported in areas such as Hillsborough County and the Treasure Coast. Power companies, including Duke Energy and FPL, are actively working to restore electricity to affected communities, reporting that approximately 105,000 customers remain in the dark. Many residents, particularly seniors in Tampa Bay, have faced prolonged outages, with some areas expected to take one to two weeks for power restoration. Meanwhile, the situation has also impacted Hawaii natives seeking refuge in Florida. As restoration efforts continue, power companies are deploying additional personnel and tracking outages, aiming for a full restoration by early next week.
