Factbox - Some 6.7 million customers still without power after Irma: utilities

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some 6.7 million homes and businesses in Florida and nearby states still had no power on Tuesday after the pummelling from Hurricane Irma, as utility companies scrambled to get the lights back on in one of the biggest power restoration efforts in U.S. history.

The total number of customers, representing about 13 million people, dipped from a peak of more than 7.4 million customers late on Monday. But some people in the hardest hit areas of Florida may have to wait weeks before they get power back.
