So it's Thursday evening, the hurricane is hitting us, and my brother calls. He's lost power and can't take it anymore, he's coming over because I still have power. He lives 10 minutes away. When he hangs up I look at the TV and they announce, "The eye of the storm is near Miami Lakes." Well, Miami Lakes is inbetween my brother and I. So I get on the phone and tell him to hurry his ass up. Mind you, a few people have died already getting hit by trees on the street. I looked outside and it was as calm as any other day. We were pretty much in the eye of the storm. As my brother pulls into my driveway, the wind and rain pick up. We make it to the couch. My wife, brother and I, put our feet up on the ottoman and poof, the lights go out. My brother starts ranting, "I can't believe I risked my life to get here and now you have no power." He hadn't even finished saying power when my lights came back on. We never lost power again.
We were fortunate.
Those people south of the eye got rained on hard for along time. The flooding is crazy. I feel extremely blessed. This was "only" a categpry one. Definitely an eye opener for a lot of people.
