On Aug. 30, 2023, Hurricane Idalia, a devastating Category 3 storm, made landfall in Florida as one of the most damaging storms to hit the Big Bend. It caused severe flooding, damage and widespread outages that impacted nearly 200,000 Duke Energy Florida customers.

Advanced forecasting, damage modeling and lessons learned from previous storms helped Duke Energy strategically place more than 4,000 lineworkers, tree professionals and damage assessors ahead of the storm to respond as quickly as possible, restoring power to more than 90% of impacted customers within 24 hours of the storm exiting the company's service territory.
