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.

STATE COLLEGE, PA (AccuWeather.com) -- Hurricane Wilma has made landfall in southwest Florida, and is quickly moving across the state. The eye came ashore at Cape Romano, about 22 miles south of Naples. At 7:00 AM EDT the center of Hurricane Wilma was about 10 miles north of Everglades City.

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

No kidding. I think TECO puts the system on special "Hurricane Hair Trigger" mode. Let a puff of wind shake the lines and it'll trip.

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