More than 2 million people without power in Florida
More than 2 million Floridians are without power as the Category 2 Hurricane Ian continues to path across the state.
As of 11 p.m. ET Wednesday, reported outages totaled approximately 2,027,852, according to PowerOutage.us.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis previously predicted millions would be affected by the massive storm, which made landfall as a Category 4, with sustained winds of 150 mph. Ian has since weakened to a Category 2, with sustained winds of 55 mph, but continues to batter Florida with catastrophic winds and flooding.
Most outages were reported by the Florida Power & Light Company, Duke Energy, and Tampa Electric.
Governors in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia have all made emergency declarations as Hurricane Ian continues to travel north along the eastern coast.
