A Message from Dorothy Pernu
Government & Community Relations Manager, Duke Energy Florida



Hello Hutch,



As Tropical Storm Eta moves offshore over the Atlantic waters near the Florida/Georgia border, Duke Energy crews are assessing storm damage and restoring power where conditions allow. Heavy rain, strong winds and storm surge have resulted in outages in several areas. The storm has brought downed trees and power lines, broken poles, and other weather-related outages. More than 2,800 repair workers will be involved with restoration efforts.

As of 3 p.m., approximately 10,000 customers are without power. During this event, more than 110,000 outages have been restored. We expect to have 95 percent of customers restored before midnight tonight. Those in the hardest hit areas may extend into Friday.
Duke Energy focuses on restoring power in a sequence that enables power restoration to public health and safety facilities and to the greatest number of customers as safely and quickly as possible.
