7 Hours With No Power....
....isn't something I recommend.
The office lost power about 8:40 a.m. and we got back up around three. From 8:40 to about 10:30 was the worst I've ever seen. It's clearer now, still rainy and the winds haven't tapered off from 50 + MPH.
It was just really bad, At about 1 p.m. I went home, my power was off but by the time I headed back to work many of the grids near my house were on so I'm positive my power is either on or will be in the next few hours.
Overall the damage in Lakeland is bad, lots of trees down, lots of dangling power lines. Like I said earlier one of the major high schools lost its roof. Four hurricanes have hit this state in six weeks. It hasn't been a fun time to be a Floridian.
