Oct 16 (Reuters) - Over 181,000 homes and businesses in the U.S. Southeast were still without power on Tuesday, according to local power companies, since Hurricane Michael last week swept up the East Coast from Florida to Virginia. In total, over 3.2 million customers lost power from Florida to New York after Michael struck the Florida Panhandle as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 miles per hour (250 kph). Some customers in the hardest-hit parts of Florida may have to wait another week or two until power is restored, utilities said. The Florida Division of Emergency Management said on Twitter that about 138,600 homes and businesses in the state were still without power. Southern Co's Gulf Power unit estimated it would restore power in the hardest-hit areas, like Panama City, by Oct. 24, according to the company website.
