Default Helps on the way

We're heading South on I 75 and there are hundreds if not thousands of electrical line men with trucks on the down to lend a helping hand, most are IBEW the best there is.

Good to know, we have lots of very expensive food in our freezer we are hoping we don't have to throw away like we did after hurricane Irma.

According to the news they are heading down to Palm Beach. :P Actually the news said to South FL. Not too many power poles here in T.V. to repair. After Sandy hit us in NJ a few years ago the folks who put the downed poles & wires on our street back up were from somewhere in the mid-west. Milwaukee IIRC.

Drove Interstate 10 through Florida coming back from New Orleans during Hurricane Matthew (MCO was closed where my car was parked). It was amazing how many different caravans were heading to the coast and how far away they came from. It was a good sight.

It looks like the storm will go up the east coast so hopefully the hurricane stays offshore. But you never know. One good tip I saw is to turn your frig and freezer to their coldest settings before the storm hits. That way if you lose power your food will stay cold longer.
