Well, I am back home now, thanks for support and concern shown. The areas we worked were Ft. Lauderdale, Broward county (alway on cops, yet all the thugs and quote unquote shady characters were elated to see us and everyone showed us gratitude and kindness, although I think if they had seen any of the workers from FP&L they would have shot them.), Plantation, Pompano Beach, and all around the West Palm area. We got Donald Trumps big castlelike estate back on and got a tour of it, Cris Carter's, and whoever the owner of the miami dolphins is, to name a few.
Everyone we encountered was very grateful and it felt good to be appreciated like that, although none of them had anything nice to say about FP&L, Our company (Cinergy) got more people back in lights than any of the other outside companies (we are still waiting to hear the exact restoration numbers). Our company sent a total of less than 100 lineman, and there were over 15,000 lineman there total, so picking up the most customers having that few of guys was some feat.
However it looks like I may be heading down to Alabama before too long to restore the damage done by Ivan. Our company is sending crews down this Tuesday to start and then we will probably be sending more in the weeks to come. But is good to be home and sorry I wasn't able to keep in touch while I was down there, the hotel we were staying at (the Wyndam) had a public computer that you had to use a credit card on which I wasn't going to use, but they had hook ups in all the rooms but I had no laptop.
