Bullcrap? Really? You wanna pay the $$$ for the cleanup of my downed downed trees you “Richard”? Our entire town is only one of many that have 100% customers out of power. Looks like it could be weeks (plural) before we’re back.
Side comments like yours never cease to amaze me.
We empathize with you on the power and tree issue...
In 2004, Hurricane/TS Frances and then Hurricane/TS Jean (2 weeks apart) blew through N Central Florida with heavy rain and hurricane force gusts. The combination of rain/gusts dropped 50 ft oaks into homes and streets - taking power, phone, and cable lines with them. We have well water-so no power means no water.
It took 2 weeks after each Hurricane to get power, phone, cable restored and it took a week to clear the trees, broken limbs, and haul them away.
Hang in there...things will get better!
I have empathy for the people who have problems...but look, after the hype that preceded this storm, it IS bullcrap.
Ever been through a REAL hurricane, though? Obviously not, because right now you’ve got internet.
Try livin’ for 9 days without electricity, no ice, limited communications (we did have phone sporadically), and do it in a sub tropical climate. We did that a few years back when a hurricane blew through.
Sounds to me like ya’ll are dealing with what a bad blizzard might do...and while I’ve been through those, too, I believe you’ll get back on your feet.
So don’t think I’ve not faced it either. I have. And I empathize. But this wasn’t a major disaster. Not by a long shot.
