On Monday morning, more than 200,000 customers in Florida were affected by power outages as Hurricane Debby hit the Big Bend region of the state. The impact was significant, with over 213,000 customers experiencing power loss.

According to reports, nearly half of the electric customers in Dixie and Taylor counties, the areas closest to where the hurricane made landfall, were without power. This left residents and businesses in these areas dealing with the challenges of being in the dark during the storm.
