Marsh Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well boys I have it bad.... Hurricane irma has ruined my county lol 99.9% without power, we were declared today the second most damaged county in florida next to Monroe (the keys) which is the area the storm made land fall. Lost power at 5pm est Sunday night, got an update at 10pm est that the storm eyewall shifted over my house. Luckily my house took minor damage but I am a lucky one. Gas station lines are miles long here and people are having trouble finding food or water. I'm fortunate enough to have a generator and the means to travel outside of the area to get supplies.. We have at least 50 power poles snapped in half which may not seem like much to some, but consider my county population is only 100k for all 4 cities here. Our bowling alley burnt to the ground and both hospitals have been without power for days and are having trouble getting gas themselves. There is major flooding in some areas here and power should be restored for my area by end of week or sooner. My best friend got his back today but he lives closer to the bigger area and I'm more in the secluded country club areas. My sister is on a different grid and her power company told them it would be weeks before they had all their customers restored. Fema recently took notice to our situation. As of sometimes today...... And I am thankful today to see power trucks from all area of the us Canada and mexico in our area. I will upload pictures once I have better than the shirty emergency phone internet think I'm only running 3g atm so I can not discord atm. Oh and ama because I'm bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 most deaths in florida from hurricanes are indirect, like people running generators in their closed garage, there was 2 of those this week in my area alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in florida, we aren't known to lead the academic awards of the USA by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
