            here we plant the power lines in the ground just so we dont have issues like this.
            Until I moved here, I always lived with underground wiring. I lose power more now because of the above ground wiring and an abundance of trees that like to fall on it when there's a strong breeze.

            The problem arises when most wiring at the powerplant is above ground. There were pictures of huge electrical towers knocked down. Once of those suckers goes, it doesn't matter if you have underground wiring or not

              Woo hoo! I know you are glad to have it back.

              Nate and I actually left Internext early to come survey damage at our home and our rental houses, cause we couldn't get a hold of anyone to make sure everything was okay. We never lost power at my house. We have minor roof leak. But we spent 2 days digging my mother out of her house, she just got power back too. Glad you made it back safely!

                Being without power is the most sucky part of the aftermath of a hurricane. It's usually 90 degrees every day, nothing is open if you want to leave the house and if you're a geek you go through electronics withdrawal

                        where you at? I'm over here in Daytona Beach..

                        our power was out for a few days.. But other than my truck getting the crap smashed out of it because people can't drive.. we had only minor damage here on my street.. (but others in the area had a lot)

                          I'm in New Smyrna Beach. We got power late last night, but there are still alot of people without power. I have a neighbor who had a tree fall through the roof. So, I feel very lucky! Very happy to have power again!!

                            I'm glad you are ok Lori. You should have called me up. We didn't get any damage over here, you could have stayed for a while. I know how bad it sucks to be wth out electricity, glad it is back up.

                            It was great seeing you down in Miami. We will have to have another Tampa or Orlando party soon.

                              sorry to hear what happened to your area, hope things get well along the road.

                              since electricity is now back to normal, can you please give us a peak of the aftermath and post them at GFY?

                                    I ended up staying at my ex husbands for a few days. He got power on Sat.
                                    It was great seeing both of you again too. The strip club Sunday night was great!

                                        My place in Cape Coral (just west of Ft. Meyers) fared very well. My stuff is all fairly new & up to the latest code. My boat didn't do as well. I lost the Bimini top & the structure holding it. About $1,000 bucks worth of damage & some trees that needed some work. I was lucky... a lot of my neighbors had Lanais caved in & roof damgage.

                                        We got power back on Sunday. My area belongs to a cooperative and not FPL.
