    still no power after the storm

    Lost power sunday morning, no estimate as to when I'll get juice back ;c

    I called and all I got was "they were waiting on an outside contractor and had no idea when service would return, they may be able to give me an estimated date tomorrow night"

    Grrrrr

    this blows.

    Luckily not too much other damage and they got my dad's power back on pretty quick so I could steal his generator.
    We did the best mod of all to it over at hishouse though, a 24 gallon fuel tank out of an Astro van!

    Unfortunately, it was fixed in place on thier porch, so I get to fill it up every 2 hrs.
    better than nothing tho, and at least I still have a house so I guess I shouldn't ***** too much.
    Just really pi$$es me off to see all the street lights on all around me and all the cheesy landscape lights on across the street, etc.

    Oh well, hope everyone else faired ok in this last storm!

    We just got power back and the thing ripped us pretty bad. It sucks. I'm in the middle of moving and its totally screwed me over. I've had to move more then half my stuff by myself. The only help I have is from my mom's boyfriend who is creeping up on 70. This is a total drag. I can't even walk my back is so screwed up!

    as bad as it sucked to be without juice for a few days, it could have been a LOT worse!
    I really feel for those who lost more than power

    Guys,

    How did you all manage during the huricanes. My wife has family in St Petersburg but we haven't heard from them for a few days since they said things were ok.
    What parts of Florida got hit worse.

    Here in the Uk, we saw bits of news but I had to tune into FOX on cable to get any real update.

    Hope you all came through good.

    Cheers

    They are still doing debris removal here and the roofers are still going strong and will be for sometime. I think every roofer from Texas and Alabama is here in Central Florida. I still haven't got my fence back up and they tell me it'll be well after the first of the year before my Screen room contractor can get to mine.
