We've had our power "blip" a couple of times, so I went offline for four hours to see if it was actually going to "go" but we seem to be fine. OTOH, the full effects aren't supposed to get HERE until about midnight. The good thing is...well there are TWO:

FIRST I have a big old Marine deep cycle battery and an inverter so I can run my breathing machine.

Second, relates to the first: Even when the power does go off, my home is in the same power grid as a local hospital. So therefore we are a "priority" right along with the E.R. After Andrew, we got our power within 72 hours. Parts of Miami-Dade County were without power for six WEEKS.

Live next to a hospital. It took them 3 days to get power and we got it the next day.
Florida Power and Light sure has a handle on hurricanes. They bring in hundreds of out of state power people . What an outfit. Peopl here think it is the best. You ususally don't hear many compliments about utility companies but they deserve the highest.

Ok, well you sound like a man with a plan.
According to Fox news, the hurricane seems
to be ahead of schedule (I'm paraphrasing here.).
I believe it's an hour ahead from what they predicted
earlier.
