Florida power outage updates amid Hurricane Isaias: When will power be back in Escambia, Walton counties?
More than 300,000 customers were without electricity across Florida as Hurricane Isaias battered the Panhandle.
On Friday, a large portion of Florida residents were still without power following Hurricane Isaias. The storm inflicted severe damage with its powerful winds, torrential rain, and storm surge. According to PowerOutage.us, over 301,000 customers were affected statewide. Escambia County experienced the most outages, followed by Walton, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Bay counties.
Utility companies FPL and Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative (CHELCO) reported extensive restoration efforts, but the duration of power restoration would hinge on the safety of the affected areas for damage assessment once the hurricane conditions subsided.
