Earlier I was wondering if they would add 6 to this 5 scale they use.
Now I got the answer why this will not be the case. Quote:

Just thought this needed to be posted.

We're not normal here in Daytona Beach.
Taken from my sister-in-law's condo. We have about four miles of riverfront that are under water two or three blocks in from the riverbank. I'm working on three computers now that went for a swim in salt water. They could be basket cases. At my home in DeLand, Duke Energy says they'll have me back in power by Sunday midnight. Then they'll hit me with about a thousand dollar repair fee so they can run their fragile broken system at a profit and repair it at a profit too. They should be prohibited from charging customers to fix it and then we'd have something better than a third world electrical system overnight. But it's not going to happen until breakdowns cost them money. Now breakdowns are a profit center. If power outages cost them money, we'd have a first-rate, resilient power system over night.

Sadly, we can't expect corporations to make these decisions unless it affects profit.

They're charging you for the hook up from the pole to your house no doubt.

Supposedly they take the repair costs (plus......) and divide them by the number of customers and voila! $1,000 please.

I just tested it again and it worked for me. I don't know what to say. It might be something to do with international borders, or different copyright laws. Sorry about that.

Well, that one is Jose, a hurricane bound for New England.
I finally got my power back today, six days after hurricane day Sunday. I've been far enough out of touch I have no idea what irma did to Cedar Key. I do know it did a crazy Ivan and tore right toward Orlando after it passed Tampa. Prominent weathermen didn't interpret the move for what it was, just a big wobble for a big storm and changed their forecast, sending to Jacksonville. Of course it was only a wobble, as storms do and big storms like Irma have big wobbles. It wobbled back to its original course and continued on track as forecast after making fools of the local weather experts. Hurricanes are good at that. As a result, Orlando and DeLand received winds between 90 and 110 mph for most of the day. Talk about loud, the howling alone could kill. I tracked the storm without power or internet (lost power a full 10 hours before the storm really affected me) I tracked the storm by wind direction. Lay a try square along the wind direction and the right angle beam points to the center of the storm. So if the wind is going south to north, the storm bears west of you. When the wind backed around toward the west, I knew it was headed north. Then I waited in perfect weather six days for Duke Energy to turn the power back on. Waiting for the other shoe to drop to see how much they will charge us for having a lousy infastructure which has had no progress in sixty years, which breaks whenever someone says "wind" in a loud voice.

Hurricane Maria Cat 3 on the way to who knows where ... I hope it doesn't hit the same places twice. They say there have never been two major hurricanes in the Caribbean in the same year.

This is an image from Hurricane Irma damage in Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Wouldn't this be a dreamers paradise to own a bar there?
