A massive power outage left millions of people without electricity across southern Florida on Tuesday, forcing the shutdown of reactors at a nuclear power plant, police and officials said.
Electricity was knocked out across a wide area of the southern state stretching from Miami up to Daytona Beach, causing traffic jams as signals malfunctioned, and forcing some shops to close before power was restored to most customers by Friday evening.
US government and local police said the widespread outage was not a result of a terrorist attack, but it remained unclear what triggered the blackout.
