Description
Five days after Hurricane Idalia made landfall along Florida's west coast, about 96 percent of all accounts that lost power during the storm have been restored, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday.
Speaking during a news conference in Perry, DeSantis said almost 545,000 accounts have had power restored and there are fewer than 23,000 accounts still without power.
However, Duke Energy, Florida Power and Light and Tampa Electric are still working to rebuild power poles, transmission lines and substations.
