Now address 2020 ELECTION FRAUD and get TOUGH on ILLEGAL TERRORIST INVADERS and I will love you for long time. "TRUMP WON" "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by" 'My ego is smaller than yours Why is abbreviation such a long word “When seconds MATTER, cops are only minutes away "Cut out a man's tongue and you dont prove him a liar. It just proves you fear what he has to say" |

Hubby is an electrician and he talks all the time about not being able to find what he needs to complete simple jobs at times. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47927245 The main job is going to be straight infrastructure replacement, not a repair and patch situation. Line, Insulators & transformers. some poles. they'll have the materials for THAT. it's only when they start doing "the last mile" stuff that shortages will be popping up. in my opinion; I've been wrong. |

Quoting: Sol-tari Beyond a photo op... Well would fuckin be smart thinking to have them spread out ti cover...I don't know...the whole area getting hit... Hopefully someone at least film's all those trucks trying to get out to emergency calls at the same time. 1 hr travel 3 hrs work 8 hrs sitting in the fucking gridlock as they all try to leave To establish a centralized base of operations, while the damage is being assessed, they are planning and prioritizing the most critical areas that need immediate attention. All the while they are assembling the crew and doing a 'headcount' to see what they have to work with. To me it all looks well organized, almost like they had a plan ready to go. Good on DeSantis. That's exactly right! I live in Sunset Beach NC and I know that our local crews with Hall's Tree Service headed down there today to get organized for clean up. I'm sure it will all be done quickly and they'll just head back up the coast and continue working as needed. I just hope they didn't send ALL of them down there lol. We'll need help also, probably. But at least they are starting where the damage was surely worse. Power should be restored as quickly as possible in Florida. Go Hall's!! |

I hope nobody else loses power around the country - all the fixer-uppers are in Florida!! Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Very organized operation, speaking of Houston TX during other hurricane events. I'm sure other power cos. do the same. It is no lttle reactionary feat, they have plans in place for times like this. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80289054 Yep. They do it here in the northeast as well when we have major outages. I wouldn't be surprised if some of our guys are down there. |

I've contracted out for Bell Canada and Telus in Canada. Many if not most will be there for weeks, some for months. They were staged, OBVIOUSLY, in a safe place. Many will take hours, and days to get where they are needed. I am very amazed at the level of preparations DeSantis did to get ready for this. Days...? That...is some shit fucking planning... I could get virtually anywhere in Australia in "days" ...and its a fuck tonne bigger then Florida. Is...am I just debating with DeSantis puppets (oh! He's so fucking wonderful and just can pump my ass whenever he wants) that are paid to post shit, or has some of the cult shifted worship to another rich guy? Those crews come from all over the US - not just Florida Many live over a days drive away - and their companies took the work and asked for volunteers Show some respect ! Florida crews have their family to take care of first I’ve seen convoys of electric trucks after a hurricane from states days away |
