Hurricane Irma moved through Florida Saturday and officially made landfall Sunday morning. It continued upward through the peninsula, knocking out power to millions.
Crews continue to work to restore power to those still left in the dark.
Gould: We know how difficult it is to be without power. Please be patient. We are fully committed to restoring power safely & quickly.
