Hurricane Irma: Latest South Florida County-By-County Power Outages

MIAMI, FL — Hurricane Irma's swirling winds and heavy rains have left Miami and the rest of southern Florida, but power outages continue to plague the region.

On Wednesday night, three days after Irma steamrolled across the length of the state, about 30 percent of Floridians were still without power, according to the latest floridadisaster.org figures, or rough.y 6.1 million people.

Florida Power & Light tweeted Wednesday morning that it had restored power to 60 percent of all its customers and estimated that it will restore power to essentially all of its customers along Florida's east coast by Monday. FPL said it expects to restore power by Sept. 22 for its west coast customers.

In Miami-Dade County, FPL estimated Wednesday at 9 p.m. that 369,180 of its customers — about 33 percent — were still without power.

The utility estimated that 268,890 of its 933,300 customers in Broward County (29 percent) and 146,910 of its 210,700 customers (70 percent) had no power in Collier County.

In Monroe County, 40 of its 90 customers (44 percent) were also without power.

As of Wed, we restored nearly 60% of all customers affected by #Irma & are restoring at a pace of roughly 4:1 faster than Wilma in 2005.
