In reply to the discussion: I just read that Maria could be 140mph by the time it reaches [View all]kydo
(2,679 posts)15. I kept saying that back in 2004
But damn, if we were the bull's eye 3 times that year. Charlie, Fran and Jean. Power was out for 8 days, 5 days and 3 days. Of course for Matthew, we were that few in the Orlando area that lost power for almost 2 days. Duke Energy sucks. Most of my sub division and the surrounding area got power back on Tuesday. We had to wait until 7pm Friday.
Its the grid. But no one will fix it. So I will. Me and the hubby are going to go solar. See if we can't get off the grid. Duke is unreliable.
