I am in Fort Lauderdale running off of a generator. It is like a war zone here. No gas, no food, no water. Curfews are in effect. Boil water orders. My yard looks like a bomb went off. Trees, fence, shed all gone. But my house is allright. My neighbors got it much worse, one of their roofs is completely gone and the other has a whole corner of his house missing. Most likeley wont have power for at least a week or so.

I imagine Jake is in the same boat.

These storms are getting really fking annoying now.

Not to sound like a dick but you could move out of the "danger zone".

In Miami here. I live a few blocks from one of the FPL stations, and also in close proximity to a police station, so when they came back online so did we.

Curfews are total bullshit though. Was going to go hang at a friend's house yesterday and couldn't for fear of being tossed in jail... instead I remained at home and stayed up all night listening to some inconsiderate jerk's generator that was left running the entire night.

Can't wait till everything gets back to normal.

Some People where I am now in Beaumont still don't have power from Rita, but the amount of tree damage here is what is making that so long, so I doubt you will have the same problem. Probably a week and some change though. It sucks. Be prepared to not have much open (normal hours at least) for like a month.

A few friends evacuated, including one who thought she was moving to an island paradise in Key West and wouldn't listen when I tried to tell her what life is really like. I think she's 2-3 weeks short of moving back home. Always listen to me. Always.

Now that is a brilliant reply.

oh please... almost every square inch of the inhabitable planet has some sort of danger associated with it.

Exposure to the possibility of hurricanes for a few months out of the year sure beats unpredictable earthquakes or a state of perpetual frozen nuts during super cold winters up north.

heh

You may not have hurricanes or earthquakes but you still have a good chance of dieing from boredom.
