Power Outages
As Hurricane Ian tracked across Florida and the Southeast United States, it knocked out power to millions of customers.

Nearly 3 million customers were without power across Florida on September 29, with most outages reported in Charlotte, Lee, and Sarasota counties. Utility workers from over 30 states traveled to Florida to help restore power. Additional power outages were reported in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
