Poles. Some nearby alarms went all night/morning. Was like torture.

Massive tree down blocking the exit from our complex. Also cannot recline my couch because it's electric. Major annoyance from a minor thing.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Aerial power distribution is gonna fuck you come storms. Just accept it as reality. Now... "most" times its just a breaker that pops out on a pole and they just need to drive out and pop the breaker back in to place to restore service down the leg. This is what they are doing right now as its the most bang for the buck in terms of restoration. If a pole went down or a transformer on a pole went boom, well you is fucked. This is why they can usually get 60-80% back in a few days. The rest require crews and real work.

Chapel on Boca Grande, before and after. Looks like 3-4 feet of sand.

That island just got messed up from Helene too. Its sad, I lived there for a few years it was a really great community of locals that still lived there since the 80's and a pile of snowbirds. I got married at that chapel and IDK if they will rebuild it.

Well tell her she is a cunt.

Just drove around the last 2 hours. All of our traffic lights have power. Lots of businesses have power. Lots of residents do not. Driving around there's no damage other than small branches, many of which are already cleaned into a pile. Still no update and no ETA.

There is a priority list and average residents aint high on it. Just a fact of life. Longest I ever went without power (not counting the generator) was 6 days.

Duke announced tomorrow afternoon they will give repair ETAs. So about 44 hours after I lost power I'll have an idea of when it will be fixed.

Edit holy fuck power just came on...and they turned it back off.

Thanks bro. You're a good dude. I've been checking but no ETR until tomorrow. How ever I hope they are working through the night, so maybe we will get lucky.

Still got power through Duke but my Spectrum internet has been out all day. Never realized how much I need it to get my kids to be quiet for an hour or two.
