Welcome to: The Dumbing Down Era of HFBoards
As Milton moves eastward, he leaves the lights off for LOTS of Floridians. My elder sister hunkered down in Volusia County. The FPL Power Tracker reports her county has 126,190 customers lacking service out of a total of 152,390 Affected by the passing storm. That puts her in the #3 position with her fellow residents-in-the-dark under FPL control (in a manner of speaking). She'd better not call me on her cellphone with draining battery to complain about her conditions.

Saw multiple social media posts showing huge field with thousands of electrical linemen/trucks prepared to get to work after storm goes through.

The various power companies across the state are hedging their bets by warning of "greater than usual wait times for restoration." Open-ended promises are SO comforting.

Update 10/10: I spoke at length with my sister this afternoon. Power stayed on through the passing of Milton at her apartment (her side of the street gets service from Duke Energy, not Florida Power & Light). LOTS of blinding rain & high winds started around 3 AM; she said it sounded like a tornado, but there's no immediate evidence of one. She & her neighbors spent part of the midday cleaning debris from the surrounding property, and she called in a live wire dangling & sparking that was detached fron a tall light pole on the church property behing her triplex. Otherwise, Central Florida living continues in her small world ... waiting for the next storm ...As Milton moves eastward, he leaves the lights off for LOTS of Floridians.
