Florida power & light restores power to most after Isaias
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Florida Power & Light (FPL) restored electricity to over 85% of its customers in eight Florida counties following Hurricane Isaias.
The company released an update at 10:00 PM Central Daylight Time on Monday, August 12, detailing the progress. FPL met its initial recovery target, having repaired over 380,000 service interruptions, though this figure represents total interruptions rather than unique customers. FPL is now concentrating its work in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, where damage from the hurricane has complicated repairs.
The company expects to finish restoring nearly all service in these two counties by the end of Tuesday, after initially extending complex repairs there. Beyond restoring general service, FPL confirmed that power had been returned to all critical infrastructure and schools set to reopen on Tuesday. The company warned customers that undetected damage from the storm or issues with individual electrical systems might still cause outages or fluctuations, advising those with damaged equipment to consult an electrician before requesting reconnection.
FPL established over ten support centers offering water, ice, and repair information, and customers can report outages by calling 1-800-468-8243.
