Hurricane Ian has caused power outages to more than two million customers in Florida, USA.
Officials have warned that power outages could occur due to downed power lines, as the storm and high winds surges through the state's southwest, reports BBC.
The authority have issued caution that blackouts will continue until recovery operations can begin, after Hurricane Ian passes.
The mayor of Tampa has urged people to shelter in place through the night, adding that the next 24 hours will be the most dangerous.
“We are going to get the majority of the rain and the higher winds starting about 8 pm, and they are going to last throughout the night,” Jane Castor said at a Wednesday evening briefing.
“It’s still going to cause flooding,” she said, adding that the flood levels won't rise as quickly as they did in southern Florida.
