Utilities have already restored service to about half of the roughly 400,000 customers who lost power since the storm hit Wednesday night.

Hurricane Nicole weakened into a tropical storm shortly after making landfall on Florida’s east coast, the National Weather Service said.

The utility with the most outages and most customers already restored is Florida Power & Light Co (FPL), the nation’s biggest power utility.

FPL is a unit of Florida energy company NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:NEE).
