Something like 150k people in miami have lost power already. And fpl has stopped rolling trucks for repairs here at least.

Hopefully it comes back for you somehow or otherwise is repaired quickly once the storm passes.

You need an indoor trainer hooked to a generator. Pedal for your power.

My thoughts are with you affected by the hurricane. Having lived in Key West and Fort Lauderdale area previously, it's painful to watch this.

Sure. If the billionaires like zuckerberg, bezos, brin, etc who pretend to care about the environment and the common man would pay their fair share of taxes instead of putting their profits in tax shelters then more can be done.

Zuckerberg actually built a nice wall around his complex in hawaii

Why did you decide to leave.

F30lolz · 09-10-2017, 07:08 AM

Rain woke me up just now but still have power. Strong winds comes and goes so lemme check the news and see where this bitch is at.

RickFLM4 · 09-10-2017, 07:10 AM

Power came back on overnight so nice to have a/c when we slept. Went out again around 630am. Winds are only about 20 mph. Hope it comes back on for most of the day.

I still am amazed with these numbers, though it has slowed down already a bit.

Stay safe, enjoy your a/c.

This path change is scary for west Florida. Stay safe and keep us updated.

Power out in the middle of bacon being cooked.

RickFLM4 · 09-10-2017, 08:50 AM

I think our power will be out until after the storm passes. Wind has really picked up. Can't start generator until tomorrow. Hopefully cell service stays on.

That sucks. I moved some perishables into a cooler last night with chunks of ice. Too windy to set up propane stove. No coffee today.

Yup, going with pop tarts and cran raspberry. Maybe sugar can substitute for caffeine.

I still don't think we will much impact other than inconvenience of power. I'm concerned about everyone on west coast of FL.

Sucks. I have a gas stovetop. Eating my bacon no matter what. And if I don't have my coffee I might just cancel this whole hurricane thing.

Lups · 09-10-2017, 09:31 AM

Here in Finland were fine with cold, and darkness and even without bacon , but i can't believe you don't have some sort of emergency Starbucks service there. You all need to learn from this storm guys: Coffee really matters.

My sisters power just went out south of Fort Myers. She is in the San Carlos Park area

My two favorite things are bacon and the pope. #Baconpope!

Haven't been in front of a tv. Cellphone news is too vague. Is Naples getting hit yet? Miami? Is it still headed up the coast toward Tampa?
