For those of you who are OUC customers…I heard on the radio that they are admitting they may have missed some customers, and that their computer may be reporting you have power when you don’t. If you still don’t have power, call OUC. ---

Oh sweet electricity 😃 Sorry I didn’t check in this weekend. We got home Saturday morning and discovered the power back on and spent the rest of the weekend trying to make the house liveable again. I had to completely gut the refridgerator and wipe it all down, the kitties made a mess of the laundry room and I vacuumed the whole house _twice_. Then we got started on the laundry. Oye. It’s so nice to be home again. Thank you all for thinking of me and listening to me whine! ---

**YAY!!!** You had every right to whine! Anyway, there’s no place like home…with AC, no? ---

For those of you that watch Fox13 in the Tampa area, be on the lookout for a glimpse of my Aunt and Uncle’s house (what’s left of it). They are running a story about old construction vs. new construction. Their house is (was?) the old construction and was obliterated. Tonight was the first night I saw the house. Wow! **Heppie** , good to hear you have power again. 🙂 ---

We got power back Wednesday, but still no cable or internet ☹ This is the first time online (I’m using the UCF computer lab) since my last post and it’s amazing how used to using the internet I’ve gotten. I don’t know how my grandparents live without it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/floridopers-i-think-were-going-to-get-wet/259386.md?page=10)
