Ian seems to be coming my way

We got lucky here. Stormed made land fall a little south. We got some 100 mph winds. Had some trees down and just got power back. But we are good to go! Thanks for checking.

Great news. Thanks for the update.

Still no power, water, Internet. Cell service very limited - when more people wake up and start using it, it’s gone.

Also, I just had the thought, “I should probably jump in the pool - tomorrow is our anniversary!”

I work for the City of Winter Springs we are north of Orlando and we got killed. We had 7 bridges closed due to high water and possible damage. At one bridge the water was up over the bridge by 3 feet. Many of our lift stations lost power and could not be reach for two days, even ones with generators were flooded and did not operate. Many customers experienced sewer backups into their homes. Some customers are still without power. My crews were working 18 hour shifts to repair two 12 inch water mains that had over 300 customers without water. I know there are many people worse off and lost everything, this was one hell of a storm! Good luck to everyone out there. Had my first day off today in over a week, I'm to old for this ****! Re-thinking I should have stayed retired!!!

Thanks for all you do! I'm sure people in your area are grateful for your efforts.

Thank you. 90% of the people are very grateful and happy to see progress happening, even in small amounts. The other 10%....think this only happened to them. It can sometimes test your people skills. Big picture folks.

That 10% are no longer people, they are "Lemmings" - LOL
Tell them you would hire them to help if they had any discernable skills - LOL
Can you take phone shots of the "Lemmings" haranguing you and then send those shots to your bosses with a request for a raise?

Got power back yesterday, took an hour long shower. Internet going in and out.

"Internet going in and out" - LOL
Sounds like a "sexual" fantasy to me.
Could I be spending too much time on this board? = LOL

You guys need another hobby.

I'm done. 40 years of being chased by these things. In the next 18 months we'll be moving to inland NC.

I am thinking of pitching a tent on Mount Mitchell. Nice breeze, don't have to worry about flooding, and **** rolls downhill. ;-)
