Morning News says only 5% still without power in Florida today.
M2 good luck on your Longboat Key rescue efforts.
5% I suppose is better that saying 165,000 plus, Apopka , just NW of Orlando is still down.
the big 3 here are FP&L (Florida Power & Light ) OUC (Orlando Utilities Commission) and Duke Electric ...
It Duke that's taking the HEAT ....
I'm on OUC's Grid
Greg, left Monday , pulled his boat to south Ft. Lauderdale launched and headed down ....
took him 7 1/2 hours by boat to do 123 miles....
Rodney and I are headed down Saturday, Orlando to marathon 343 miles , we new know we can get as far as Marathon and launch there ( that is as far as they will let relief or aid volunteers drive .)
From there by boat it's only 17 miles to Long Key., or someone from down there can come meet you for the exchange .
Arnie ( our retired driver ) is answering text messages ....his house was flooded, but his boat(s) rode out OK ( one is Sport Fisherman the other a Houseboat, where he is living...he has a diesel generator ( we are taking fuel )
we've got water , pet food , LARP's , can goods , and building materials. Arnie will meet us with his boat.
I will be an adventure for sure...
