I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale and my dad worked for Florida Power & Light so he had to work during every hurricane, leaving my sister and my mom and me at home to take care of everything there. I dont think FPL got a shelter, Reddy Kilowatt was not as well set up as BS, I guess.
I'm sure you'll know the area I lived in then. We actually lived in a place called Margate. We were one of the first families in that area and ours was one of the first houses built in the 60's. It was surrounded by canals and when it rained we had terrible floods. The gators would come in our yards at night. I'm sure it's more settled now but it was a little wild back then. My Dad visited recently and took pictures of our old house. It looks even better now than when we lived there and it's weathered a lot of hurricanes. We stayed home for most of them but I remember three times we spent the night in the BellSouth shelter. Of course, that stuff is fun for kids. We're smarter now. :-)
