Useless in FL

Winter Park reported in the Orlando Sentinel that they had very few homes losing power during Irma. They credit that with the effort they have made since 2004 to put utilities underground in the area west of SR 436.

I truly believe that Duke should invest in that same effort everywhere they serve power.

Here in Eustis we finally got power back yesterday when everyone else around us had their power restored 3 days prior. The only reason our power was restored was because a neighbor flagged down a Duke Energy guy who was parked in a field off SR 44, otherwise we probably would still not have power.
