Nearly 2.5 million people are without power after Hurricane Milton swept through Florida on Wednesday and Thursday. The storm made landfall in the state on Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, the storm left Florida through its east coast and headed toward the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean.

But it appears that timeline has been accelerated. About 99% of the 178,010 Brevard FPL customer accounts that lost power as a result of Hurricane Milton had their power back on by Monday morning. That leaves 1,750 FPL customers in Brevard still without power — and 93,973 statewide.

The Florida Power & Light Company ( FPL) has brought power back for almost 1.3 million customers who lost service due to Hurricane Milton.

Power is slowly returning to Manatee and Sarasota counties in southwest Florida, but the electrical grid won’t get to 95 percent restoration until the end of next week, FPL said.
