The Aftermath, Without Power, is just as bad...
Recent Irma comments off the web:
Canada?

"Many Canadian power companies have descended on Florida to help restore power as well. If you see Hydro-Québec, give 'em a smile and a wave for me."

Samaritans: 
Quote:
"So, emptied out the refrigerator this afternoon, and set out to attack the front yard. A pickup truck pulls up, and two good Samaritans--hulking young men--jumped out with their gloves on and rakes, and piled up the massive yard waste in less than 30 minutes. They would not take money, so I finally threw a wad of cash into the cab of their truck, and said: Donate this to your church.
"What they did---found a tree service, gave them the money, and the tree service is in my front yard cutting up the fallen palm tree and two others that are about to topple. I wept with relief and joy.
The storm has brought out the BEST of Floridians. Incredible."
