Seven days (minus 2 hours) without electricity. We lost power at 6:51 PM on Sunday Sept. 10 and finally got it back at 5:00 PM Sunday Sept. 17th. The weather after Irma passed was hot (in the 90's) and with no electricity the temperature in our house was in the high 80's. It was truly miserable but we were lucky with only 3 limbs down and nothing hitting our house. Others were not as lucky as us.

Our neighbor across the street had a huge oak tree come right through his house but no one was hurt. They had to move out for anywhere from 4-6 months as repairs are made.

I'm back for now but who can predict what Maria is now going to do. I'm not a picky person and will be willing to share the rest of the hurricane season with others.
