As Milton continues to wreak havoc across Florida, more than 500,000 homes and businesses in the state are currently without power. The powerful winds associated with Milton have led to widespread outages, leaving hundreds of thousands of Floridians in the dark.
According to PowerOutage.us, the number of outages is expected to rise as Milton moves across the state as a hurricane overnight. The tropical storm-force winds extending hundreds of miles from the center of Milton are causing significant disruptions to the power grid.
