It’s expected when everyone loses power I guarentee that people will be running them tonite [Reply]
So far the reports from neighbors is no surge or rain flooding. Downed power lines and trees but no obvious damage to roofs or houses. So if all that flying debris didn’t hit your house, you may be okay.
I live on an island. There are two bridges off and into the island. they had downed power lines laying across the road keeping people from getting to their homes. So a guy gets out of his car, picks up the power lines and moves them to the side of the road. Only in Florida. [Reply]

If power goes out here and you walk outside I can hear at least a half dozen whole house generators going 24/7. Didn’t realize people turned them off unless they’re limited on fuel. [Reply]

In Texas we run those things all day and only turn off for like 4-6 hours in maybe middle of night. [Reply]

Hopefully he was standing in at least 5 inches of salt water to improve conductivity when he conducting this heroic feat.
