Without power @ 1:02am.
Our lanai screen door woke me up @ 1:25am banging open shut in the storms peak gusty winds. Secured by 1:30, used a light tie down strap I packed as a last item from leaving the apartment in Georgie (no where else to put it as we were all packed up- how’d I know!) and a heavy tool box from garage as an anchor to keep it closed the rest of the night. Naked, in the wind and driving rain. Got soaked in seconds, why get any clothes wet? Now get that picture out of your mind. Also had also set up an emergency ‘honey bucket’. Any takers what that is?
And power just came back on @ 6:02 as I type this! Hot damn!
I must say, my experience with TV builders, their whole operation, has been nothing short of AMAZING!
Our purchasing here was very spontaneous. Meaning no research prior. Wife and I came to Florida to look at a few 55+ communities last May. Met our wonderful realtor here. She informed us when view lots became available. We bid for one, and actually secured it our first time around. Came in for the design visit weeks later.
From early on, I noticed TV runs a finely tuned operation. In everything they do, it seems to be done right. Well managed, plenty of manpower.
I went outside at 5:45am. Someone with a very powerful flashlight was already walking the neighborhood scouting for damage. Lots of new construction in our neighborhood. Sitting in our driveway was today’s newspaper! I think that service has the post office’s motto beat..
A shout out to SECO! With all the outages in the greater area, we only lost power for about 5.5 hours!
Seriously impressed with TV & SECO.
Thoughts and prayers to those who were in the direct path of the storm.

In 2 days you are now a real Floridian ! Gotta be a record . Good thinking on keeping clothes dry thats thinking on your feet. We are blessed to be in the Villages. No power outage by Sumter that I’m aware of … glad you’re back up and running and still with humor intact. Welcome
