Lines are not overhead in the historic district.

We lost power for a few days during Irma but it was due to a power station being flooded.

A few other areas lost power as well.

I've been here for over eight years and Irma was the only hurricane that affected us at all. It was a huge hurricane and there was really not a lot of damage.

Most hurricanes do not have that much of an impact on an area that is so far inland. I'm not saying that it's not possible that we have a bad one hit, and I have precautions in place. But it is not something that is on the top of my list of things to be concerned about.

Duke, by the way has been great in communicating during the few times that we have had problems.
