Grew up in Dade County, Florida. Lived there more than half my life.. loss of power n clean water was a given. We filled everything with water before plastic bottles. Bath tubs, pot n pans..a family of 6 can go thru water. Loss of power for 2 weeks was a given. I watch the news n after all these years, I remember. I’m still in Florida n my heart goes out for those without. As with the fires burning our West. Mother Nature will have her way but we’re behind with how to manage. Way behind.
