Just thought it would be good to see how it's going for you and your family. For that matter anyone else here that lives down in the path of the hurricane.
We did ok. Just tons of branches and other storm debris to clean up. Luckily we didn't lose any trees or suffer any major damage. We'll probably have everything pulled back together in about a week. You're in FL too right? How'd you do?
Glad to hear, it looked pretty bad all over on the news reports. Our neighbor is putting off his winter in Florida for a month this year. I told him if he is going to live there half the year, he should get his rear down there and help with clean up. No, I'm way up North in Wisconsin. I have a son at U of Alabama, and he said they look to be in the clear for any of the leftover from the storm.
We are fortunate because we are in the center of the state but with that said, there are still many areas here in Orlando where the devastation is pretty crazy. I've been through many hurricanes and losing power is by far the biggest pain in the ass. Almost none of my friends across town have power, and probably won't for the next week or two. My neighborhood is one of the newer ones that actually has underground power lines, so there are no above-ground power poles and lines that could get screwed up from falling trees and flying debris. So the biggest advantage for us was not losing power because once that's gone and the Florida heat sets back in, it's just a friggin' nightmare, especially for women and children. I feel terrible for all of the people on the coast that got hit hard because a direct hurricane hit is a traumatic, life-altering event. Ok, I must be getting you confused with another member. I appreciate you reaching out and checking on me though.
Burying lines keeps getting talked about up here, but nothing ever comes of it. It seems like a good idea, but I wonder how they trace a problem when it occurs.
