    • Yea this totally sucks, I live in Tampa Florida, and this is the 3rd time we have had to prepare for hurricanes. It has not been this bad since 2004 when we got hit by a few really powerful hurricanes and the power was down for nearly a week, but well shall prepare like always. I am just thankful we have some warning and time to prepare. It still sucks.
