I'd also add that even if you don't think you need assistance now - get a FEMA number and get the application process started. You will be much happier later on if it turns out you need help, if you've already got a FEMA disaster number.

Power on, internet working. No damage to house other than a bunch of lost shingles. 26 hours round trip to ATL sucked, but I definitely feel very lucky.

One more plea. Get a FEMA number. Even things way beyond your control or expectation like your insurer going belly up before it pays out your $5,000 claim can end up a nightmare in these scenarios.

My company is doing damage assessment up there right now. Sadly they don't do electrical.

Apply anyway. I have a relative in Bradford Co who I helped apply. Bradford is more or less the sticks and doesn't get much attention either. They can deny the claim, but if they get enough claims from a particular area, I think they would take a longer look at it and reconsider. At least, that's what I believe anyway.

http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/Duke-Energy-announces-estimated-power-restoration-times-for-Florida-662579
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy has announced power restoration times for specific areas in Florida following the damage from Hurricane Irma.
The company has restored power to more than 375,000 customers. It is currently reporting an estimated 1 million customers without power as of mid-day Tuesday. Crews will continue to work non-stop to safely and quickly restore service.
The company expects to complete power restoration to essentially all Duke Energy Florida customers in the following areas:
By midnight Friday, Sept. 15: The western portion of its service area. This includes Pinellas and Pasco counties
By midnight Sunday, Sept. 17: central and northern portions of the service area. This includes Alachua, Bay, Brevard, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Flagler, Franklin, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lake, Leon, Levy, Madison, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, Sumter, Suwannee, Taylor, Volusia, and Wakulla counties.
Restoration in the severely impacted areas of Hardee and Highlands County may extend beyond Sunday due to rebuilding the electrical system that suffered significant damage in those areas.
"Our crews are focused on restoring the largest amount of customers each day and that means some customers will see their service restored much earlier," said Harry Sideris, Duke Energy Florida president. "As crews respond to make repairs and restore service, specific estimated times of restoration will be updated for individual areas and customers. We have a workforce of more than 12,000 committed to this restoration effort. We are not stopping until the job is complete."
Due to the heavy volume of outages and technology issues, the company's online reporting tool is not updating properly. Outage numbers on the automated system do not reflect actual amounts of customers restored. Until corrected, the company will send out updated outage numbers throughout the day via its online channels.

At any time, customers without power can report their outage by:
Texting OUT to 57801 (standard text and data charges may apply)

The cancelling the flight to Charlotte, but flying into Columbia makes no sense.
@In The Zone, are you going to the game on Saturday? If so, pm me, it's about time we met up.
I spent the afternoon picking up branches around the yard. I have a nice pile of medium to large size branches by the road, and five plastic cans of smaller branches. I'll take that over flood damage, fallen trees or roof damage any time.

I am currently undecided on the game but I agree that it's time for a meet and greet.
Sure, they made sure the more affluent neighborhoods got power back fast. The working class neighborhoods can go to hell. Still not seen a utility truck in my area, Duke Energy still no updates, only "we are in the process of assessing damage and have no timetable for restoration". Never mind all of this area has no running water either because they won't provide us city water and we are stuck relying on well pumps that won't run without electricity.

Posted in the other thread, but I should check-in here. All good back in Boca. Was without power for 55+ hours. I was finally able to borrow a portable generator yesterday from a friend. Spent half my morning picking it up, getting gas and setting it up and had it up and running my fridge and a couple fans for a little over an hour when the power came back on.
No damage to my house, lost a few banana trees (one fell into & broke a section of my fence) but I feel extremely fortunate.

Most of the neighborhood is still without power. For some reason we never lost power. Very fortunate. I almost got hit by a truck on highbanks this am. Hopefully they get you online soon. If you need anything our home is open.

Just got a call. They are now in restoration mode. Central Florida is to be completed no later than Sunday.

That would be cool. I have a buddy here at work in Apopka who was told it might be weeks before he has power. Dude is suffering at home with 2 kids.

Power came back at about 7 tonight only to have them turn it back off 45 minutes later. May be just to fix someone else's in the grid, but of course they don't inform you. I'm set up for text and phone alerts, yet they didn't bother to contact me after the first restoration. It's the lack of info that's most frustrating.
