Just ran down to my car and got the update on the radio. They were interviewing someone from FPL. Apparently, just in our county, over 630,000 people lost power immediately during or after the storm. Roughly 32,000 of them have been brought back online as of this morning. They are estimating that the last house will be brought back online on November 15th, with most residents having power back within two to three weeks. Woohoo!
And now for an exciting edition of “How shocked am I?” Abacoa in Jupiter has power restored already. How shocked am I? Not at all. Nice to see that capitalism is in full effect. So, let’s see, we’ve got the ritzy part of Jupiter, and the ritzy parts of Palm Beach Gardens, all having power… coincidence I’m sure. Not that I’m angry or bitter, it’s just funny to point out. They were having fun pointing it out on the radio to the FPL rep, too.
