FPL Accelerates its 90% Restoration Target to Sunday as Crews Continue to Work Around the Clock after Hurricane Milton
Summary
Crews are contending with flooding, downed trees and debris from tornadoes as they complete a second full day of restoration in the wake of the Category 3 storm. If you see an FPL truck passing but not stopping, it may be because work must be performed at a nearby location before electric service can be restored to your home. A word from FPL President and CEO Armando Pimentel: “We’re working around the clock, and we’re making great progress to get life back to normal for our customers and communities. Our workforce of 20,000 men and women will not stop working until every customer has power.” Restoration challenges: Hurricane Milton was a powerful storm that had significant impacts across most of Florida. • The west coast was hit with storm surge and flooding, which closed roads and left many areas inaccessible to crews, delaying damage assessments and restoration efforts.
