Some customers in the hardest-hit parts of Florida may have to wait another week or two until service is restored, utilities said.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management said on Twitter that about 102,565 homes and businesses in the state still had no power.

Southern Co’s Gulf Power unit estimated it would restore power in the hardest-hit areas, including Panama City, by next Wednesday.
