Floridians - Are you without power ?
My parents are. They live in Sun City Center just outside of Tampa. Who else is without power in Fla ?

2. They might have a hard time reading this
..if they have no power. Maybe the ones who don't answer are the ones without power. :)

4. I hope they have power by Election Day .
That would be just bold enough for the BFEE to withold putting the power back on for all those in Pro-Kerry areas . Hmmm I would not put it past them .

7. Those who are without power won't, of course, be able to reply to your
post.

When Frances came along we were without power for three days and nights. This time around we lost power from Saturday night at ll:30 to Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM. We were lucky and I thank God.

8. someone could be at work where there is power and not have
power at home. it's really not a dumb question at all. Or you could be in a library that has power.
Our power went off while we slept the other night and then came back on just as we were getting up. Praise be to Jeb, the almighty.

11. I am in Tampa and I have power, but
my best friend's breaker box got hit and he probably won't have power for 3 weeks!
