Florida will be hotter than hell after Irma turns off AC

First the squalls, then the swelter.

Nearly a million Miami-area residents lacking electricity and air conditioning are bracing for oppressively hot weather on the heels of Hurricane Irma.

Almost three-quarters of Florida Power and Light’s 1.1 million customers in Miami-Dade County have no power, and officials are warning it could be weeks before electricity is restored, according to a Sun-Sentinel report.

And temperatures are set to soar: Sweltering air and humidity are expected to broil Miami with a heat index as high as 108 degrees over the next four days, according to AccuWeather...

That’s what generators are for, the ocean is for....and then there are palm leaf fans.

Been there, done that.

You'd be amazed at how fast you burn through 20 gallons of gas. Then you run out and the gas stations are still closed from lack of power.

Blah Blah Blah..cost of living in a tropical us’tah-be paradise

I worked many canes as a public utility employee in S/Central Fla
Worked 18 hour days and then went home to no power and eating from a cooler by the light of a mag light. Booo Whooo Whooooo

But 60 bucks an hour took away the pain

Geez, if she dumped those piles of rags, she might cool off better.

It warmed up briefly in Houston and then cooled off enough (at least for a day) that it was cooler outdoors than indoors.

“with a heat index as high as 108 degrees “

What’s the ACTUAL temperature? #WarmistNonsense

How can you go to the gas station in “your” ‘lectric car to get gas for the generator when you can’t even charge up your ‘lectric car? #NewerMousetrapsArentAlwaysBetter

That looks just like the lady in the first post.

Air conditioning is the only reason Florida has such a large population.

How long will 20 gallons of gas last if you ran a 2kw generator to keep a chest freezer and refrigerator going and maybe a few lights?
