I rode this one out in Homestead to return to a house with no power and no phone. Since DSL worked through Frances, I figured I would get lucky and have DSL this time, but, no go.

Want to be the most popular guy in the neighborhood? Show up with bags of ice. haha Worked around here.

Phone/DSL was just restored -- still without power, FPL claims next Tuesday for our area. I knew I should have ordered the extra gas cans after Frances. haha

A few neighbors had damage, but, again we came out relatively unscathed. I can't remember the resistor to cut on the UPS to make it behave with my generator -- argh.
