(Reuters) - Some 4.3 million homes and businesses, or about nine million people, were without power at midday on Wednesday in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas after Hurricane Irma battered the region, down from a peak of more than 7.8 million customers on Monday, local utilities said.
Most of the remaining outages were in Florida Power & Light's service area in the southern and eastern parts of the state. FPL, the state's biggest power company, said about 1.9 million had no power on Wednesday, down from more than 3.6 million on Monday.
