I am back, it almost feels like from the dead. Hurricane Wilma was the strongest storm on record. It hit us as a catagory 3 and we had winds in Jupiter Fl clocked between 110 and 115 mph. We got our electricity back tonight and I consider myself lucky as some folks are not going to see the light until the last week of November. Petrol is scarce with lines at the pumps sometimes over a hundred cars long. We're slowly coming back to life, my wife works for the local hospital and I work for the power company so we had to start work the day after landfall. South Florida is a wreck and driving with no traffic signals is dangerous to say the least. Our prayers go out to all who survived the storms and we're glad to be among the living. Hopefully no other SiNNeRz had to endure the wrath of this storm season.
Glad you and your family got through it bro, dont over work yourself too much either! I feel so bad for all the people down south these days, seems the storms just cant leave ya'll alone!

yeah up her in Wally world IA, they made some lame excuse as to why the prices went up on things in the store... but you know it's all because Wal-Mart lost about 200 stores, probally making an average of 200k a week, so you know that's gotta hurt....
and I figured out why you have stayed down there so long too, and work for the power co. as long as you have....
Cause you know that you will always be needed every year and you will be getting a lot of OT

We have lived in Florida for 18 years. My wife and I have family here and most of the time it'a really nice place to live. These last 2 years have been tough with 8 hurricanes dancing on our heads. I have considered moving but the family ties are strong. The OT is not bad either
