Duke Energy Florida is mobilizing approximately 10,000 responders as it prepares for more than 1 million power outages associated with damage from Hurricane Milton.

As Duke Energy meteorologists track Tropical Storm Milton, the company urges customers to take immediate action and prepare for the approaching storm.

El Centro Nacional de Huracanes espera que Milton se fortalezca y se convierta en un gran huracán que posiblemente generaría condiciones meteorológicas extremadamente peligrosas en partes de la zona de servicio de la compañía en Florida.

Today, Duke Energy Florida completed restoration efforts for all customers in Pinellas County’s barrier islands who are capable of receiving power after Hurricane Helene – meeting, and in many cases exceeding, estimated times of restoration.

Duke Energy Florida is continuing with power restoration following Hurricane Helene’s landfall. As of 7:30 a.m., the company’s 8,000 workers have restored power for nearly 198,000 customers, while over 402, 000 are still experiencing outages.

Lake levels expected to rise sharply as heavy rains from Helene add to the many inches of rain the region already received this week. Those living along lakes, rivers and in flood-prone areas should exercise caution, stay informed and remain alert.

Los pronósticos de precipitaciones de Helene previstos para Carolina del Norte y Carolina del Sur han aumentado considerablemente, lo cual hace temer posibles inundaciones, sobre todo a lo largo de la cuenca del río Catawba-Wateree.

As Hurricane Helene approaches Florida, Duke Energy has already begun restoring customers impacted by the storm. As of 5:00 pm, Duke Energy had nearly 47,000 customers without power in Florida. So far, nearly 42,000 customers have been restored.
