Just got mine back on this morring.. but I know quite a few people around that still don't have any power.

I had no power for most of today.

It was cool, I gave myself the day off and went to the pub,
had lunch and drank beer all day with a friend :winkwink:

But I don't live in the US :glugglug

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Where are you posting from ?

If you are talking to me, I live in Australia. :glugglug

He's from down under - Sydney, Australia (looked at your ICQ profile) hehe



Chipmunk, I'm in Florida but up in the Panhandle. I just moved up here about 3 months ago from Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Hurricane season is definetely on, Charlie and Frances and now Ivan.

Sorry to hear about your power and cold showers.

Sorry to hear about Florida, make sure everyone is prepared for ivan. good luck

That sucks man - hope everything else is well - at least you had a home to come home too.

My brother lives in FL and they are still having to use their generator. Hope it's back on soon!

I only lost mine for about 12 hours. As soon as it came back on I went outside to look around and watched a tree branch fall into my neighbors pole in front of his house and took down the power along the whole street. Luckily mine stayed on. He has been down for 3 days now.

Matthew you missed a hell of a time my power stayed on and I did not evacuate but we had a party people came and went crashed out got up and partied somemore. Other than being stuck inside it was a good time. I'm not sure about Ivan though...don't know if I'll ride this one out or not have to wait and see.

I live in Parkland and didn't have power for three days. It came back on yesterday. My brother lives in West Palm and my other brother lives in Boyton...both of them still don't have power. We spoke to FPL, and they said it could take 7-10 days.

You never realize how much you miss power until it is gone...

Good luck!

i still don't have any power, and it went off last friday. FPL said it will be on by Friday at 11:45 p.m.
please Ivan, stay far ...far away!!

I am glad I canceled my labor day trip sorry to hear you are without power...

Working on Day 5 of no power!!

This totally sucks. Fortunately we have power at the office and I'm camping out there.

Tampa here. We only lost power for half a day on Monday. Not that anyone noticed......we had a 3 day party :winkwink:

Mine just came back on after 3 days. We had a huge tree uprooted that landed on my neighbor's roof. Some of the flying branches took the power out of my house. I just had an electrician here who replaced the weather cap and the wire. It's sooooooooo nice to have AC again!

:( poor chipmunk

That sucks man, glad you got through the hurricane ok

Mother nature has her way always. Best of luck to you hope you have tons of candles you can make the best of a bad situation.

Thanks everyone... and hope those are in FL stay safe and dry!

I think it's time for a Wal-Mart Adventure to pick up some candles and flashlights!!

JM... Have no fear theres always Ivan ..lol

Mary .. Keep your frkin dog away from my arm :) I rather have no power than be in the same room as your dog!

Yup, no power here in West Palm/Lake Worth. But I am doing the ole' stay in the office with ac till a neighbor calls me that they have power.

I only lost my power for a hour or so down here in Miami. Let me know if you need a place to hang out chipmonk!

No power 5 days and counting. :(

Hey Michael...
Thanx man...very much appreciated!

I think im going to rough it and pray that the power comes back on... or I will just find some Lauderdale bar slut to shack up with..lol

--=Chipmunk=--

I've got my power back, but this is like the 3rd time in the last month that it's been out long enough to spoil everything in my fridge. I think I might start sticking to canned goods until hurricane season is over.

I vote for the latter.....let me know if you need some suggestions:glugglug




Meanwhile.....hang in there buddy...... The offer is real though...and it stands. Hey, any excuse to hang out for a drink!
