Strong storms left thousands of people without power on Friday as trees fell on homes and power lines in Tallahassee with wind gusts of 71 mph (114 kph), just shy of hurricane strength.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said on “To bring back normality.”

“Thank you to the first responders and utility workers working to restore power and roads,” the governor continued.
