Electricity still on in Brandon? Will wonders never cease! Y'all lose electricity if a crow lands on a power line.
Thanks for you update, I can see the first hint of daylight...finally.

We used to call it the Florida Power and Darkness Company back when I grew up in Miami Springs.

So you know things aren't too bad if we aren't running generators.
