I’m Back - Dint Dint - I’m Back
Get up offa that thing and dance till you got power!
Well I don’t have power, but I do have internet access. Wilma was kind to my house and my family. Lost a fence, major pool debris, lost a portion of baby gate fencing, lock broke off on a different fence, and lost some trees. We were fully prepared with supplies ranging from food and water to baby supplies. Our car’s gas tanks were filled to capacity before the storm and this turned out to be a real life saver.
The biggest and most important item after a hurricane is gas. Second would be cash. This list is for able bodied people though. You can take care of everything if you have gas and cash.
A gas station near my house had an 8 hour gas line. I saw national news trucks reporting, so you might have seen them on tv at this 4 pump Hess station working off a generator.
I’m going to just come right out with this prediction that at least 45% of the trees in Broward County fell over outright and at least 75-80% of trees were severly damaged. The tree damage is unbelievable.
Going to the grocery store as well as other stores was kinda surreal. No lights and people didn’t stick to their traditional “grocery store patterns.” It was an observers paradise.
I want to thank all the power companies who have lent South Florida their manpower and trucks. I don’t know who they are except Pike electric. I seem to see their trucks everywhere and I do know some Canadian power company is also pitching in from a news blip I caught on tv.
Power is so important that I wish it wasn’t.
