Power restored by @DukeEnergy crews!! 53rd Ave North in Arcadia Gardens

Our crews work 16 hrs on - 8 hrs off. Most often starting on 5am shifts and not getting back until after dark. They’re still working next to St. Petersburg Catholic High School.

Replacing poles and climbing poles… working ‘til the very last customer is back on!

Duke Energy Florida has completed more than 99% of power restoration in Pasco County, as well as all other counties impacted by Hurricane #Milton. Storm-related power outages have decreased to approximately 30,000, largely concentrated in Pinellas County. spr.ly/6014qPrvw.

Not your typical day at the beach. @DukeEnergy contractors are busy replacing two 40-ft poles and a pad mounted transformer that was washed out by storm surge from #Milton

Now under 50,000 outages across Florida for @DukeEnergy customers and a majority of those will be restored by tonight. Losing power is certainly challenging but it has been amazing to watch these line workers and everyone who supports them, do this restoration work.

UPDATE: Some new images to show just how severe the flooding is in the Silver Oaks community in southeast Pasco County. Transformers and other @DukeEnergy infrastructure remain underwater. Electricity and water do not mix. We cannot energize this area until the water recedes.

Crews working to replace a broken pole and reconnect wires in Largo off Belleaire Rd near S Belcher Rd. Multiple crews working in this area to restore @DukeEnergy customers. @CityofLargo #MILTON

Some kids in Pinellas County #Florida gave a our @DukeEnergy lineworkers homemade treat bags with cards, a big bag of popcorn 🍿 and cold water. Our lineworkers teams are always grateful for such kind gestures from the community — they really do love it! #HurricaneMilton

Much of the work now going on to restore power in #Florida is concentrated in neighborhoods and behind homes. Jobs like these may take hours and only restore the few customers on that outage. @DukeEnergy crews continue to work nonstop. #hurricanemilton

We appreciate our @DukeEnergy customers for their unwavering support of our line workers and crews working day and night to get the lights back on!!

Work continues in the residential communities of Pasco County. This crane was required for a tight squeeze in the back yard of a home in Holiday, FL. The crane was needed to remove a tree. @DukeEnergy continues to bringing on the lights as quickly as possible.

Work ongoing near Phillip Jones Park in Clearwater to restore service to several hundred @DukeEnergy customers in the area, including apartments, community center and other local services. Crews are getting close on this important job. @MyClearwater @PinellasGov #Milton

The Siver Oaks community in southeast Pasco County is still experiencing significant flooding. Many residents were evacuated because of the high water. Transformers and other @DukeEnergy infrastructure was underwater. Crews are here, using our Marsh Master to assess next steps.

An update from Pasco County. The county is still dealing with flooding issues but where it’s safe, our @DukeEnergy team is busy restoring power. On neighborhood streets and even in backyards, we’re working as quickly and safely as possible

Buckets and boots in the air! Crews are working on neighborhood roads and behind homes today to repair damaged @DukeEnergy power lines from #HurricaneMilton . This crew is working in Bayview along 37th St S and will be on several side streets to repair downed lines.

More @DukeEnergy crews in Clearwater off of North Betty Lane restoring power. Crews are still facing significant damage in this area. These line workers will work well into the night.

Getting the power back on as safely & quickly as possible is our no. 1 priority following #Milton. This @DukeEnergy crew from Apopka grounds a line off Roger Williams Rd to protect tree trimmers working to clear the line and get it energized.

Crews are working along Bay Pines Blvd in St Pete near Bay Pines bridge to repair equipment on two transmission poles damaged by #HurricaneMilton . These lines serve many customers in the region so getting them repaired will help other restorations in the area

In Clearwater, just north of Belleair, @DukeEnergy crews have been busy today getting power back to a large number of customers in this area. Our 16,000 teammates will not stop until we get the lights back on for everyone.
