Well, I was without power for 8 days at my house, and had some damage and a few downed 100+ year old oak trees. I know that doesn't compare with the total loss that some had, but it was quite an inconvenience and made for a stressful time with the heat and lack of wind that followed. I also had to report in for work during and after the storm, because I'm the Computer Operations Manager for the School District here in Clay County and had to make sure all communications systems were operational to provide service to the shelters. We opened all of them, and it kept us quite busy for the week.
We're ready now for round 2 with the same plan of action.

They released us from work at noon today. We were wrapped up last night, and we only unwrapped what we absolutely had to work on today. Here's what I pulled from the FLA Today link.. http://www.floridatoday.com/blogs/spacecoastcane/2004/09/patrick-air-force-base-and-cape.htm

I didnt leave all that early, our bosses didnt make us put the little rainhats on the computer monitors and CPU's, nor did they mention anything about unplugging, contingency on monday or such matters - guess they didnt see a threat with this storm - we shall see monday i guess
Hunker down y'all and keep safe this weekend. I might log on a bit, assuming the power is on. We didnt get our tanks filled, so wont be diving blue spring or venice tomorrow. Traffic wasnt bad tonight, but i can only imagine tomorrow going downhill on the roads though. This is getting tiresome, hope the end of season coming soon!!

Absolutely! I just got my FPL bill in yesterday. It was $100 less. I wonder how much I spent on gas for the generator????

Some good may come out of the storm after all. Maybe with all of the money I will save on electricity this time I can finally buy a generator.
