RIP seniors. Jesus is awaiting you in your reward.

I lived in Hollywood, Florida as a child. The school I attended was the most advanced in the United States.

For anyone on the other thread, sorry about it being pulled.

When I copied the article, a whole bunch of nonessential stuff copied too and I didn’t catch it before I posted it.

So I reposted it and asked for that one to be deleted.

Your comments were valuable and fine. It’s nothing anyone but me did.

There was another family, three generations lived in the house.....carbon monoxide poisoning killed 3 of them and sent others to hospital....I suspect that their generator is also in play in this incident...

Sensible people have backup power, fueled by oil, as a backup.

When the leftists tax oil to death, many more elderly will die, and that is their intention.

I used to visit a skilled nursing facility several times a week for a little over 5 years. Old people died there almost every week. Of course, if you cut off the air conditioning there will be in uptick in deaths, but it is not like those people are going to get better and go home. I hate to sound lie somebody who has a cold heart, but that is life.

A little before 4:00, Liz Clayman was reporting Fox had heard from a “reliable source”, that they are taking out SO many bodies from the Keys. Have heard nothing since then, though.

Bill Nelson has descended like a ghoul on the facility. He is lecturing on the horror of this event.

Hey Bill: your party wants to have single payer—which will create MORE problems like what happened today.

Laws about generation requirements vary state to state concerning healthcare facilities but Medicare/Medicaid has some minimal requirements nation wide. I'm a retired Maintenance Mechanic and worked in nursing homes. Maintenance in this context is maintaining and operating of the Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Boiler Operations. An emergency generator in a healthcare facility is supposed to within 10 seconds start up upon power failure and transfer to the generator. Routine testing of that system is mandatory.

The generator may have done what it was designed to do but may not have ever been designed to handle the very large electrical load HVAC demands. I worked in a Tennessee 5 story 200 patient facility. We had a 200 amp generator. It would power lights and the emergency power receptacles, operate one of three elevators, power the kitchen and power the Boiler System, the phone system, Fire Alarm, and that was about it.

Poor design years ago can cause failures many years later. I'll give an example. Our facility had a generator and was supposed to be able to operate generator and boilers for almost two weeks from an underground fuel tank.

At some point in construction a cost cutting decision was made to use city utility water for the generator engines cooling system rather than a self contained radiator. Well one night the utility lost a \n entire substation which powered our building and as well powered the utilities pumping station for utility water. After about 30 minutes the engine tripped off on high temperature and there was no power for over 4 hours. You would think that would trigger a correction. Nope.

Here is a worse one. Same facility. The State Inspector Generals Office demanded a Sprinkler System {water not CO2} be placed in the Electrical Switchboard and Emergency Generator Room. We {the employees and our Boss} protested to no avail. This room had a 460 volt 2000 amp electrical system. The 2000 amp system needed because the HVAC Chiller pulled 1200-1400 amps on start up and about 300-350 amps for running once up to speed.

I hate to say it but meanwhile Disneyworld is up, running, full of people in air conditioned comfort. They should have opened up some resort rooms for the elderly to shelter in.
