Official Florida is Fucked Hurricane thread

[cd34]

phone is back, dsl is back, cell sms is back -- however, I cannot check the one voicemail that is on my cell phone because all circuits are busy from the cell phone, all circuits are busy when I call from my landline to the cell phone, all circuits are busy when I call from my vonage phone to the cell phone, all circuits are busy when I route using a CIC code to force it long distance, and all circuits are busy when I use an extender that gives me DC dialtone.

So, whoever called, I apologize for not getting back to you yet.

Other than that, changed the oil in the generator -- it looked pretty clean coming out without any shiny sparkley bits suspended in solution. I take that as a reasonably good sign.

Ooh, got through to voicemail... and cell service drops out.

I need to buy a chainsaw, but, not many places are open around here yet and our local Super Walmart which somehow blows FEMA away in capabilities does seem to have two huge generators powering their store. Passed two gas stations that were open today that had lines almost a mile long in either direction, with police directing traffic.

I am thinking I need a larger tank-farm like Cleo has.
