Winds in most places in Dade were about 90 MPH with higher gusts, hard pressed to find a house with a single roof shingle missing.
Tons of vegetative debris, downed trees, etc.
Our utility poles are mostly concrete and a lot of cables are underground.
I saw dozens of utility trucks from out of state all over my neighborhood yesterday, making steady progress on getting power on.
There is still no ice available anyplace I have been, that is likely to change by tomorrow.
There was a veritable army of linemen and bucket trucks coming down from as far away as Canada last I heard. There should be plenty of help getting electric utilities back up and running in FL, and then the cleanup and rebuilding where necessary can begin in earnest.
I’m glad to hear that the damage in Dade County was largely cosmetic.
