Hurricane Sally knocked out power to more than 510,000 homes and businesses in Alabama and Florida since smashing into the Alabama coast early Wednesday, according to local utilities. Current outages are down to around 458,000 since NextEra Energy Inc's NEE.N Gulf Power utility restored service to about 50,000 customers. Southern Co's SO.N Alabama Power utility, meanwhile, said it was too soon to say when it would restore service to most customers since the storm was still pounding its service area. Separately, in Louisiana, almost 60,000 customers were still without power in the southwestern part of the state since Hurricane Laura hit the coast in late August. There were no outages reported from Hurricane Sally in Louisiana.
