YAHOOOO!!! We got power! Thank you Thomas Edison! I've never appreciated the stuff like a day without it in this humid heat. We've been roughing it for only one day but most people are still in the dark. Thank God they got us up. I'm about 15 miles inland - just south of Jupiter and north of
West Palm. It's been quite a ride. I didn't think it was ever going to end. But truthfully the worst damage around here is just trees and some roof tiles. No serious structural damage. At least where I'm at. I've called people around the coast and they had similar damage. The news is focusing on the worst of it. They really know what they're doing as far as the category grades because it sounded like the world was coming to an end, but everything structurally held up great. I've been out chopping trees all day. All the neighbors are pulling together. Phone service is in and out too, but somehow I've got DSL modem sync.
Anyhow just thought I'd let folks know we're doing OK out here. But it's going to be a big cleanup. The main thing is the power. FPL was out here first thing this morning going at it. God Bless em
I can imagine people will get uncivilized real fast without some power in another day or 2.
