“At this point, we haven’t assessed the damage,” Jacobs said. “We are continuing to work in between feeder bands to get the lights back on. Monroe had 1.3% of customers with no power, while the number of powerless customers in Broward and Palm Beach was under 1%. In Manatee, the number of outages was 164,193, or 69.87%. But he noted that crews had already been dispatched to make repairs as storm bands earlier made their way across South Florida and the Keys. briefing, just as Ian’s eyewall was striking land around Fort Myers, Silagy said it was way too early to estimate the extent of damage. The company already started working on repairs early Wednesday, but stopped when the wind speed intensified. In Lee, the majority of customers — 413,685 users, or nearly 88% of the total — lacked power. Rotating crews working 16-hour shifts will ensure repairs can go on around the clock, Silagy said. “I can’t stress the difference that makes. This is deploying an army.” Rebuilding can take many days or weeks.”
