A slew of hurricanes have hit the Sunshine state in the past month.

But, there is some good news tonight...help is on the way from as far as right here in Reno.
11 people from Sierra Pacific will be flying to Orlando Tuesday morning...where they will meet up with other power companies from California.
In the northern part of the state, "Progress Energy" is reporting more than 500-thousand customers without power.
To the south...the brunt of Hurricane Jeanne, "Florida Power and Light" says one-point-five million people are still in the dark.
