[DangeloInspections]

I do not think any part of The Villages has DUKE....but I could be wrong, as I am more accustomed to the lower part of The Villages.

As many know, although I am in The Villages everyday doing inspections, I live just south of The Villages in a community called Legacy of Leesburg. Half of our gated community has SECO, and half has Duke. Seco customers here did not lose power at all. Our half, (having Duke) JUST got power back after almost a week without power a couple of hours ago.

Trying to run your business, charging laptops, thermal imaging cameras, digital cameras and tablets, flashlights, etc, without power has been difficult. Not having internet has been difficult.

Thankfully my two boys had power, etc, and we kept going without missing any inspections, etc. They also kept me in enough ice to keep freezers, etc, cold.

It was a difficult week.

Now I know we have much to be thankful for and many have suffered huge losses, but on the subject of the different power companies around here, DUKE energy here seems to have been the worst. SECO, City of Leesburg, etc, seemed to get power restored very quickly. Duke was the slowest to restore power.

I really miss SECO. I am thankful my power is back, but to me DUKE is a four letter word.

Just my opinion...just venting a bit. In light of our experience, the topic of DUKE seen here peeked my interest.

Oh well...first world problems. Life is good, we are blessed. So thankful for A/C again....sweating in the dark for a week was not fun.
