(Reuters) -More than 113,000 homes and businesses in Florida were still without power on Tuesday, a day after Hurricane Debby slammed into the state's Gulf Coast, according to data from PowerOutage.us.

The number was down from a peak of 350,000 outages on Monday.

Debby, now a tropical storm, drenched northern Florida and killed several people as it churned toward Georgia and the Carolinas, threatening a week of torrential downpours and flooding across the region.

The utility with the most customers hit was Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK), which had about 33,112 clients still without power. It said 3,000 out-of-state crews were assisting its Florida team with outage restoration on Monday.

"While power has been restored for many, our crews will continue assessing damage and making repairs in the hardest-hit areas."

It was followed by Clay Electric Coop, with 21,367 customers cut off in the state.
