Living in the new section south of 466A, we have Leesburg Electric. No clue as to how they will respond.

I'm guessing you didn't like the post about the Charlie Hurricane. Power outages lasted about a week. Oh, and this one makes Charlie look like a little puff. Be prepared for a long outage and be happy if it doesn't happen.

I was 12 when Hurricane Donna hit St. Petersburg and we lost our power for 3 days. That was not too bad considering that was 1962 and the only damage was a big tree limb broke off and hit the front of our house.

In 1979 I was in Pensacola when Hurricane Frederick a category 4 came ashore. I was visiting in Savannah when we became aware it was 250 miles south of Pensacola and headed due north. I drove back and made good time on I-10 since I was the only car westbound after Tallahassee. The hurricane turned slightly west and went up Mobile Bay and Pensacola is 50 miles east of Mobile, so we were on the bad side but did miss a direct hit. In Pensacola we had 78 mph winds with gusts to 95 at the airport, and I lived 1/4 mile from the airport. No real damage but did lose power for 3 days. It came ashore during the night. As soon as I got home I brought in all the pool furniture into the garage. Went into the hallway and closed all the bedroom and bathroom doors, got a radio and turned it on and just then the power went out, about 9:30pm. I got a pillow and fell asleep and when I woke the next morning it was over.

Where in TV did they lose power for three days during Charley? I was here and I think some houses lost power for three hours or so but didn't hear of more than that.

Yours is not a yes/no question...During the 04 storms I lived in Apopka with underground neighborhood utilities and lost power for 16 days after charlie seven with frances and 3 with jean... Our undergrounds were fed above ground.. Your question should be when do the villagers start eating each other after their cushy existence is no more!! LOL

We were here for 2004 and 2005 in Polo Ridge, never lost power. Here's hoping !!!!!
