As Hurricane Debby unleashes its powerful winds across Florida, more than 100,000 homes and businesses find themselves without power. The impact of the storm is being felt most severely in north-central Florida, particularly in Levy and Suwannee counties.

The widespread power outages are a result of the hurricane-force winds that are battering the state, causing disruptions to the electrical grid. Utility companies are working diligently to restore power to affected areas, but the sheer scale of the outages presents a significant challenge.

Residents and businesses in the affected regions are urged to exercise caution and prepare for potential prolonged outages. It is essential to have emergency supplies on hand, such as flashlights, batteries, and non-perishable food items, to weather the storm safely.

Officials are closely monitoring the situation and providing updates as the storm progresses. The safety and well-being of residents remain a top priority as Florida braces for the impact of Hurricane Debby.
