Official Florida is Fucked Hurricane thread

[Cleo]

Still no running water.

They are saying a month before all power is restored.

Would like to start on yard cleanup but not going to until running water is back so that I can shower after doing yard cleanup.

The sky was fucking unbelievably beautiful last night. No moon and no lights anywhere other then a couple of houses with generators. You could see every star in the sky. Haven't seen a sky like that since I was a child.

I have a house full of Puerto Ricans, I really need to become fluent in Spanish. One is someone that I dated some years ago and another is the ex of my old party goods supplier and her two small boys. We are all going to see if we can find a grocery running on generator power, there was a few last hurricane, store that is on generator power since I only stocked up on food for me and now there is five mouths to feed.

WOW, while typing this I hear water starting to flow out of my kitchen faucet that I left open so that I would know when water was restored.

For those of you keeping track at home, this is Day Two of "Stinky Cleo"

Cleo is no longer stinking. Still no running water but I do have an 80 gallon hot water heater full of hot water so we are taking buckets of water from its drain for sponge baths and doing dishes. Joy after a storm is being able to wash one's twat.

Will be making another run to neighbor's pool to fill up reserves for flushing toilets and if water is still not on by the time we start needing drinking water, we have 15 gallons still, will be raiding my rich neighbor's house of all his 5 gallon jugs of water.

Also the grocery store is open running on generator power so will be making a food run later today.

Cool! I've heard that about big storms in areas prone to light pollution and city haze. The storms are supposed to wash the atmosphere and sharpen the view.

Supposedly the view up the eye at night is even better.

After a couple more years of 3 to 5 storms a year you Floridians will barely even notice them. All the buildings that are fragile will have been knocked down, everyone will have generators and big tanks of gasoline and potable water at home, and Florida will have adapted.

Untill, like Greeny says, the eye's start sucking the freezing cold of space down to the earth's surface and leave all the alligators crusted with ice, ha ha ha!
