So pleased to know you and your furbabies are okay Liz. After all the predictions it seems like Helene did more damage than Milton thanks goodness. |

Thanks Possum.
I think Helene did more damage because of the track it took over multiple states. In comparison Milton "just" plowed across Florida. My access to news has been limited, but it seems the area where Milton made landfall were hit hard. Milton came ashore very close to where Ian hit a couple of years ago. Those folks were still recovering from Ian. |

I am still at my friend's house. Leaving for home tomorrow. Since the neighbors gave me an update I don't see a reason to hurry home. Power company finally has an estimate when power will be restored - midnight Thursday. Not excited to rush home to no power and no wayer.

I don't blame you. When we had that major earthquake here in 2010, we lost power for six days. Our water was also intermittent. It was no fun.

Although we don't talk the way we used to or as often, I still thought about you with these back to back storms. Nature is cruel.

We are still evacuated. Still no power/water at home. My friend persuaded me to stay here rather than go home because of that.

Love the outage map!
Public service announcement: If you enroll your address and report it as out, they will send you emails or text messages when it comes back on. My power goes out pretty frequently, like at least a couple of times a year, often for days, so yeah i am definitely a member of the club. Oh yeah: WELCOME HOME, KIDDIES!!! |

So glad you can head home now.
I have an app for my power company & can report. It provides outage inf. For Helene they gave us updates 2 times a day on FB. Our community is small but community happenings are connected on FB which is a good use of it __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

Una, I am already enrolled in my power company's program. I normally get emails, phone calls and texts about outages. Can also report an outage online. They sent one massive blast when the storm hit. No individual messages since. I suspect it was just too much to do individual given the size of the outage. More then 40K in my county alone. They did a great job of posting updates on the outage page, plus did a daily blog. I've seen a bunch of people on line complaining a) that their power was still out (first one of those was on FRIDAY!!!!) and/or b) that the linemen are not heros who are horribly over paid. The second one burns my backside. Try living with no power and no water for a week. People who can return those to me are heros who earn every day penny they get paid!
Eskie, I HATE Facebook, but using it to stay connected in an emergency is a great idea. Well folks, time to toss my stuff in the truck and go home. Much as appreciate my friends giving me a place to stay I'm anxious to get home. Much thanks to everyone here for the support. |

Yeah thats a heck of a cc!
Living without lights and water really makes me question... my humanity? My life choices? It is humbling. And ive just lost power. Ive never been thru a disaster knock on wood. At this point i would just lie down and stop. I wonder if i can get healthy and strong enough again to do some good. |

Everyone here appreciates our linemen. They actually went into detail why some got power before others even across the road. My friends were the last 12 to get power back on in our area because they repair the big issues first because they block power on to the smaller issues.
Lol....the bad spring storm we had, I got power back on in a day but my intefner stayed down. Come to find out I was one of 5 in my area that gets feed from the tower that still had power out in its area. Then the tower required a guy from the company to go UP the tower & reset the equipment. Rural living does have its challenges. I have been having power surges all week around 10am. If it keeps up I will report the problem. I only have one clock & my wifi that really is botherer but it is usually a precurser of a bigger outage in the future if not taken care of __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.
