       FPL will seek to recover an estimated $800 million stemming from Hurricane Milton, which made landfall Oct. 9 in Sarasota County as a Category 3 storm and crossed the state, according to a quarterly financial report that the utility’s parent company, NextEra Energy, filed Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

       Broward County is a mecca of fun and a mixing bowl of multicultural activities. It is also a recreational haven for health and fitness. With agreeable South Florida sunny weather — most of the time — and various transportation options, residents and visitors alike are drawn to the area for over-the-top experiences. So, this fall, Broward County Transit (BCT) encourages people to leave their cars behind and take BCT to these exciting places around town. Regardless of a sprinkle or shine or even an occasional cool breeze, these outdoor activities from entertainment to exercise draw hundreds of thousands of people every season, and BCT wants to get them there.
