I have too many other things to obsess about...and I like the peppery taste of old nicotine.

Good to see you guys today.
Irma cleared our house last night.
Wife reports rain and no damage.

That's why, when we lose power, the first thing I do is fire up the generator, and plug the fridge in. Not just for the food, but the nic stash. Priorities!
I don't have a generator at my place in FL. Given its proximity to the ocean, I've always had a very simple contingency plan for when a hurricane comes: Go somewhere else.

We had a plan in place to leave. We had made reservations in Ga. We were going to take off early Saturday. But when the track shifted west, we saw no point in evacuating to an area where the storm was headed. So we stayed home and rode it out.
I just posted this in the stocking up thread and I thought @Bea-FL would like this. This past April I was worried about my mod, batteries, phone getting wet or rained on while being out on the boat. I bought this in the 5L size (pink)

It really works and with it being a bright color makes it easy to find.
I figured with all the storms some would like this. Mine was under $13

Forum is running slow for me, consider everything "liked"/as in read, many of the posts I don't technically like.

Xfinity also has opened up their wireless statewide in florida to non customers.Thanks, Mrs Opi. I'm glad you're Ok also..
Regarding the phone, the cell service came back as soon as my neighborhood and neighborhood cell tower's electricity came back on...so did the VOIP.
(BTW, there are still a great many parts of Miami w/o power. FPL recently "hardened" my neighborhood
(replaced the old wood poles with concrete) because there are two hospitals on the supply line.
They're returning power to police, emergency personnel and hospitals first.
I think you may be referring to Comcast's offer of free WIFI hotspots to non customers
but there aren't as many as you may think... as I'm sure @Robin01 would corroborate.
G*d Bless you too.
our home was not impacted by hurricane harvey,, and yet a week later we lost cable and internet for 3 days.... we had to use the comcast wifi.
odd tip,, it worked better when the laptop was plugged in............maybe a fluke or problem on my end.
It's often the case with laptops (Windoze, anyway) that the power settings will turn off wifi after a specific amount of time, to save the battery. (That is user adjustable, to change the time or have it always on.) That might be what happened...
We lost a bunch of frozen food also..But I'm more worried about the five liters nicotine
in the little freezer spending two days not being frozen
It should be ok. It doesn't have to be frozen. It doesn't freeze anyway, just gets thick. It's ok when it gets thawed out unless you open the cap before it's room temp. If you open it up before it gets room temp it get condensation on the inside which can degrade the nic. You should be good though. All of my nic is in the deep freezer and I never opened the lid until this morning after we got power. I have a glass of water with a penny sitting on top so if the freezer thaws out and re freezes I will know cause the penny will sink in the thawed out water. If it's all the way at the bottom then I would have to throw everything away but it was still sitting on top so nothing started to defrost.

Freeze dried food is a good thing to have around also a good way to make water safe to drink or cook with Around here they use ATT towers
Start a fire out back and start cooking it if it's thawing,cooked stuff keeps in a ziplock in a cooler or you can feed others
Run the gas out of the carb if you can today's gas can ruin one if left in there long
So on to local news convoys of big army trucks have been going through here in Mo. heading S/W on 44 and also bunches of Mil choppers going same direction,I'm thinking help is on the way to somewhere but from here it could be Fl. or Texas.
So happy to see more and more checking in !
Would love to see members that haven't been on ECF for a long time check in...

Yep. Did that this morning. My generator has a petcock on the fuel line. I shut it off, and ran it until it stalled. I also always add stabilizer to the gas. Today's ethanol gas is terrible stuff.
Another thing just came to mind here(whats left of it)
If a person has meat thawing and can't cook it could they donate it at a church that's providing meals then write it off as a charitable donation on their taxes ?that would keep it from going to waste two ways

I'm using that new stuff made by Star in all my stuff now it's an enzyme that they claim lasts 2 years so far all of my stuff runs better with it and a plus is it's not a solvent even my bike likes it and it doesn't like anything but fresh 92 oct.,It's in a blue bottle if anyone goes looking for it

And/or inverted Faraday cage effect.
Since wireless signals like yo follow bus lines and be directed.

That was awesome! Mark me a "D". I've got power but no phone, tv, internet and my cell has very limited service. Need a new roof and a lot of property cleanup. I'm posting from the hospital but won't be here long. Called the cable company and they said call back next week if I'm still broke. Spent most of the storm on a porch on the lee side of the house vaping with my nephew.

Looks good. I've just been using one from HD called Ethanol Shield.
Heartened to hear all of your (relatively) good news but couldn't help raising a smile at 'hubby' having come through Irma then lying out trying to catch a breeze ! That's resilience for you
.Thinking of you all and hoping the rest of the good folks on the list come through OK.
