Power is back, tree was snapped in half in backyard but safe otherwise.
I ended up driving around yesterday to get some AC as well. My neighborhood was mostly fine but I ended up driving the hour south to where some of my family still lives and saw tree damage to my aunts old house and the playground me and my cousins used to play at when we were kids.
Some photos
No idea, this is all second hand info other than me looking up wait times.
Tom Sawyer Island and some Animal Kingdom trails are closed too.
Yeah Animal Kingdom is going to be fucking hot no matter what.

It's still 130 dollars or whatever to go in though.
Yeah, if you have an annual pass though, probably the best thing you can do to pass the time around there.
I would love to go, but I'm still too tired from working through the storm. Perhaps I'll go sometime next week.

Gaiesville has gone from 12,000 outages to 14,500 outages today. I'm back in St. Pete (Also no power), but it's no fun not knowing if you'll have power when you come home for class (Starts back Thursday)

Evrything still off and still at cousins house. Waiting for power to restore by tomorrow hopefully.

I noticed a tree on top of the power lines on my way to work this morning. I'm guessing it'll be a couple of days before I get power back.

Sorry, I'm not actually down there. I was hearing things through the grapevine.
I've never been to that place, but I'll stop by the next time I'm down visiting.
Still no power.
Got a generator, tried it on the modem and that's down as well.
Got a call from the company with an automated message telling us that a generator had been damaged and they were currently fixing downed power lines. Drove a bit around the city today, there's a fuck ton of downed trees, its gonna take a while to fix all of that. They said it could take a week yesterday and that seemed like an over estimate but not anymore.

The real kick in the nuts seems to be when you have power but no internet which is my life at the moment. My LTE has been worse than normal too, otherwise I would just pay for some extra hotspot bandwidth but that's not even worth it at the moment

Comcast is fucked up here in Broward. Everyone I know with them has no Internet or phones working. We use them for our primary connection at work and it has not been working.
I have a local ISP at home thankfully.

Welp fuck this we left our house, no AC with a child and a dog is just too damn much. I cannot keep them in a 83 degree house. Work is still cancelled since the office doesn't have power and school is closed until at least Friday in Orange County. They should just cancel until Monday and call this week a wash. I will live like a King and enjoy my electricity and AC tonight. Oh and fuck Irma and fuck Duke that said we will have power by Sunday.

I'm back, bitches! Hope everyone fared as well as I did. Will post photos from my town soon. We got wrecked.
I'm in Orlando. Was only joking I left the house all day because there was no AC. Power being on is the game changer, I can do some laundry and actually buy groceries now

It's hard to tell, but the whole roof on the ocean side came off.
I'm in Broward and never lost Comcast service.

Was able to get in contact with all my family and they are okay. My moms fence was damaged but other than that everyone got out unscathed after the power outages ended in Pasco.

It's so good! That's what we wanted to do, but my 2-year old kept looking around and roaring, so I knew what we had to do!

Not the Euro last I looked - it's the UKMET model.
Wow really? That sucks. I guess I was lucky to have my power back so quickly! What area is your apartment around if you don't mind me prying?

The one thing the Euro got wrong was the landing point of the storm.
UKMET. All the other major model predictors have it hitting us in Newfoundland, Canada. :/So the EURO track has Jose coming right through SoFlo? Seriously? All other tracks seem to disagree, but the euro has been correct last two times now
Just what we need after 8" of rain the past 4 days. It should be a week out from us though.

How the fuck did it go UP now that the storm is over?

Possibly during inspection, they might have found something survived the storm but was damaged or in danger of failing, so they took customers offline for repairs.
Makes sense, but still really sucks.

Just north of University. Like a block off campus. Near the Chipotle. Every surrounding apartment has power

In st pete and just got power back. My house was fine. Honestly couldnt even tell there was a hurricane outside until about 11:00 or so.
Around 10:00 my shed tried to turn into a parachute though. It's thin aluminum with doors at both ends and the pressure and wind yanked open a locked door. Started tearing the sheet metal and it was obvious it was going to tear it all the way off and turn it into a dangerous projectile. Plus once the door was off I knew it would lift the whole shed up. I didnt have anything I thought would hold it shut until my wife came up with the idea to just pull my truck in up against it. At 10:30 the back door was forced open although it wasnt flapping around as wildly. So back outside to get a rain barrel out of the shed. Got it filled with water by 10:45 and edge wheeled it back over to hold the other door closed and thankfully that worked. That second door was an adventure. There arent any real breaks in between gusts at that point. It stops gusting and you run out and it is gusting again before you make it 5 steps. I expected everything to fall on me. It was like a movie. It was pretty awesome.

Finally have water in Jacksonvile
My power in Clermont came on around 1p today, or, 30 minutes after I decided to leave the house and look for ice. Made me think I should've left earlier for ice if that's what it was gonna take to get AC again.
Also, yesterday was a perfect post-hurricane day. Awesome, cool breeze all day, decent cloud cover, no humidity. Felt great.
