Post Hurricane Wilma: All Services Restored
I can officially say that I am one of the lucky ones. We now have all our services restored and fully operational. Still have some minor things to deal with, but overall, we can resume life and try to get this mess cleaned up and fixed back to it's original condition. I'm not quite sure why, but it seems that my dryer and dishwasher had issues with the hurricane. They BOTH crapped out and are INOP. If that's the worst of it, I can deal with it. Unfortunately some of my friends haven't been so lucky. A vast majority of people down here are still without power, much less phones and DSL. The fuel situation seems to have calmed down and it's becoming easier to find fuel. Some folks here have been waiting in line up to 5+ hours for fuel. No thanks. I drove 40 miles across Alligator Alley through the Everglades to the Big Cypress Indian Reservation to get gas. Considering the drive was pretty quick, incredibly scenic and there was no waiting in line, and no $20 limit on gas - it was well worth it. It's a little-known hidden secret that's worth keeping in your memory bank for the future. For all my buddies still in the dark...hang in there! Hopefully FP&L will get to you soon...in the mean time...you are welcome at my place!
