Nobody hoards power....FP&L just blows amazing amounts of ass. That's almost socialism for you: FP&L is allowed by the state to be the only power company. They take FOREVER to repair power lines, even in weako storms.

The Power Hath Retourned!

[Infernus]

Yay!

So I'm sitting on my floor, reading some Hemingway and enjoying a tuna sandwich. I'm thinking to myself, "You know, I'm starting to appreciate this no-power thing. It sort of feels like a real summer now."

All of a sudden, I hear a hum. The hum of the fish tank air thing. I looked over at the TV, and sure enough, the green light was on. The DVD player's red light was looking at me saying, "You got it sista, POWER!!"

Electricity hath been restored!!!!

Air Conditioning for teh win!!!

[Infernus]

we in memphis had the same situation last year in July. Most of the city was without power for two weeks or so. Add that to 93F temps. Then our power crews turned away out-of-town crews because the latter werent "in the union" so thusly it took two weeks instead of something shorter. I feel for ya. It sucks being without power in hot hot weather.

Well the union power companies are far more trained and have better safety regulations than the non union companies. My brother signed up for the Line Man union a few months ago. He passed the tests. Just is waiting for a call. They said that could take a while because once people get in the union they don't leave unless they die because they basically set you up for life. So there hasn't been any openings yet. hehe

it wasnt that the other crews weren't in a union its that they weren't in the same union as the local people..
