Hurricane Milton barreled over Florida overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning, smashing buildings, flooding roads and homes, and taking out large chunks of power grids. As of Thursday morning, nearly 3 million outages have been reported, according to USA TODAY data, with Hillsborough, Pinellas, Lee and Sarasota counties the hardest hit.

Nearly 48 hours after Hurricane Milton made landfall, over 2 million Floridians were still without power as utility crews worked around the clock on restoration efforts.

Duke Energy expects to take at least four more days to restore electricity to many of its customers in Florida after Hurricane Milton caused power outages across the state, the U.S. utility firm said on Friday.
