Good for you, Governor, for planning ahead and getting the electric companies lined up already. I live in the Houston TX area and they don't bother to do that when we have a hurricane. Even a Catagory 1 can leave us without electricity for a week or more.

thank you Governor for getting ahead of this. We know power's going to be down. Praying for all linesmen and first responders. Stay Safe.

Hey DeSatan, stop sticking your hand out to the federal government for help

[MitchellBarry]

Being able to provide all my needs without the help of the Government is really a dream come through because I'm favoured financially getting a 10k return on my 3k investment.

I pray Florida gets absolutely zero federal assistance
