According to the Jacksonville Electric Association's website, about 84,930 of their customers are without power. And we've been one of them since early yesterday afternoon.
This is not, however, true of the person whose internet I am leeching off of.
We didn't really get hit that bad, all things considered. My mom and I actually went out in it for a bit last night to pick up takeout. But think of 24 hours without air conditioning, or even fans, in August Florida heat, and you can probably imagine why I woke up very cranky this morning. Trying to sleep in a convection oven is really not fun. Especially when you're woken up every few hours or so by things falling on the roof and transformers blowing very loudly.
Computer battery's almost run down, so I should head off. The weather seems okay now, if a bit windy, so I know the JEA crews are out there somewhere. Time to go see if I can't flag one down before this heat drives me crazy.
