actually it's day 6.  Time has become arbitrary..

Danny back when the 3 hurricanes hit Fl in a row, we were without power at one point 13 days. I did buy a generator and lived in my truck camper. At least then I had hot water and a shower and ac.

Hope you get power back soon!

HAY GANG ,LOST MY POWER SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY ,I have the house wired so I can run it on my generator and I ran it the whole time so with dish tv the storm didn't knock the satellite out of outer space so we had tv lights water and refrigerator and could use micro wave,BUT no ac or internet
It blew three trees down in my yard but my neighbor lost 20 trees with one on his house.
The only real problem I had was when cleaning up the trees I piled some trees up with my frontend loader and forgot where I put the chain saw,now looks like modifies anonymous went crazy on lt.

Glad you're OK Calvin.

The rest can be taken care of with some sweat, and/or a check book.

Nah, when he's not taking the RV down to the line dance place, he's playing Mafia Wars.

Doubt if he even knew there was a storm.

Wooooo Hoooooo,
I got my power restored thusday evening a little after 10:00 pm. Generators are a good thing, we were able to power most of the house and have hot water through out the outage. Large oaks are down everywhere in the neighborhood, I helped clear 4 large oak trees just to get out of the neighborhood. Several power poles had to be replaced and most of the wiring was either on the ground or destroyed by the falling trees.

After 9 grueling days, power back on this evening and even FIOS is up!  It's better than Christmas..

Still have a giant tree mess to deal with - but knowing after I get all tired and sweaty, a shower, cold beer and couch in front of TV with A/C are waiting, make it not too bad.

Another the upside is my camping skills are finely honed just in time for ecfr.
