Man oh man..................what apain in the butt.......we got pounded by Wilma..........then lost power for 4 days.........on top of that we also had a cold front blow in with it that dropped our temps into the high 50's -60's..........nice weather........but nor for snakes with no heat...........Thank goodness for generators!!!!!

Fuel is a HOTTTTT commodity.........and the lines to wait for it are around 3-5 hours long..............that BLOWS!!!.........to make things more interesting.........we are under a mandatory curfew.........no one is allowed out from 8pm-6am..........

SO thats about it...........crazy times...........Trees destroyed everywhere!!! Power out all over.....but its coming back on soon..........

Yep, my parents are in boca and they still have no power!

I had my fill last year so I moved up to the middle of the state.

Good to hear you made it through it all!

That is why I bought a natural gas generator. Electric restored in 8 seconds. I was the only guy on my block that had power for two days in a winter storm.
I received thank you cards from all the folks in my ball room.

I did not see the need fo a generator...everything we have made it thru ok...to wait in line for gas behind 100's of people is insane when by this weekend or monday the latest electricity will be restored to plenty of areas so the gas pumps will be working...people are making mountains out of mole hills when it comes to the fuel down here...other than that my balls enjoyed the cold weather...especially my 4 males!!!!!!
