I'm in Coral Springs, and it's the only city in Broward right now under curfew.

Power restored in my community in Trinity, New Port Richey Florida. I was just about to take a cold shower in candle light too. Funny is I was reporting an outage as I didnt see the overlap onto my area on their website. I report it on phone then look at neighbors house and outside lights are on. I switch back on my breakers and boom. Hope it stays up and any spikes or drops from other restoration stay away. Consoles,tv,soundbar and cable modem are all on a big battery backup to help filter.

I know it's true for Verizon - no charges for data or voice between now 15th
Ft Myers here. Eye went right over our condo. Ripped part of the wall off on the east facing side. Tons or trees down and snapped throughout the community.
We do have water but no power, and I can't get my generator running. We all survived, just living on tuna and bread or crackers. The wife's place of employment never lost power in estero, and the impact glass held up. She even went to work.

In Gainesville. My power is still out but lots of coworkers are getting theirs back. I do have water. Living on water, canned tuna, and green beans for now. Work is called off for tomorrow but I'm expecting to go in Wednesday.
I have not been contacted by Duke yet. Left my house 2 hours ago and power was still out

I got my power back about an hour ago in Lawrenceville, GA. Internet is still down though. But I'm using my phone as a hotspot to use the internet on my desktop because I hate browsing on my phone unless I have no choice. Thank goodness for technology for allowing us to be able to do stuff like this.

I've heard that Doc's Beach House survived just fine and it's right on the beach where Bonita Beach Rd takes a turn to the North (NW corner of this pic). But it's hard to say for sure since there's definitely some waist-high flooding in areas of Bonita Springs and Naples.
Is 8-bit hall of fame OK? The owner is a chill dude And he had to close shop and leave. His shop is on Bonita Beach road towards the beach across from where the hotels are.
I love that store. Prices are usually competitive, and lower than eBay. Owner couldn't be nicer, too.
Leesburg hasn't lost power, and the restaurants here are closing because they're running out of food. Guessing it's people driving south who evacuated, and people who lost power with nothing in the fridge.

I've dropped like $400s one year doing some shopping at his place. He gave me a free t shirt with Not Ryu punching Not Bison like it was Punch Out !! And it has 8-bit Hall of Fame on the back of it.
When I heard the hurricane was coming I was seriously worried for his shop. It's pretty close to getting hit by storm surge and I would hate to see the owner move he's soo nice.
Ahhh! I had just left there! We got there at 7:10 amd we got our food at 7:50, totally worth it though. Went back to the house, Orlando on the border of Altamonte and Maitland, but no power but we saw the power truck down the street at our broken transformer so it seems like they are working on it. They also did an automated message while we were at Taco Bell. Hoping beyond hope this place lights up any second.
Ah yeah, she went to the Chinese restaurant near the mall and said the line went up to the mall. She left once she saw how long it was.

It'll probably be up soon I'd imagine. You're right up the street from here.
In the drive thru right now, got in at 8:15, 3rd in queue to receive food finally. Genuinely interested to see what the car in front of me got, I saw they spent over $40 on the order screen lmao
Doubtful I'm returning to power unfortunately

Still waiting on KUA to restore the power. It's hot, and bugs and frogs are getting in my house because my family opened some windows and doors to let air in.

Power came back on but I got no running water.
Haha I'm eating Chinese food right now. It was the only place open where I am. There were more than 50 people waiting inside (heh, I counted) and it took about an hour to get my order. The power was out back home and I didn't want can food or snacks so I waited.

The only thing worse than no power is no water
No clue about steak n shake. I know KFC was open earlier, had a super long line. Waffle house is open as well but probably a long wait too. Maybe get some orders to go?

Heard someone say they were being told to open at 7:00, but not 100% on that
The wind was crazy but basically the whole town was under water, so boats and houses floated across roads and streets. I'd be shocked with 0 deaths though.

I didn't even lose power GAF
Everyone else in the Orlando area seemed to.
I went outside for 30 minutes and sat between our 2 cars at around 1:30. The wind felt awesome.
Friends and family still have no power. I got super lucky.

I heard people were staying at hotels to get some A/C.
Do you also have a 2 year old and a 1 year old like I do? It's a miracle anyone is sleeping in my house right now.

Feels like the rain is dying down around Atlanta. Just hope the prospect of wind gusts is as well. I need to go to bed soon, and the thought of a tree coming down on me is pant-peeing.
