This is only my 2nd post having lurked and learned since before Frances hit us here in the Orlando area. FWIW I have a friend who works for Progress Energy (old Florida Power) who told me today they've released and sent home all the power crews they had here locally getting everyone's power back. They must be pretty confident that we'll have nothing else hitting us for a while to have done that... I guess Progress Energy watches the models and has forecasting going on there too.

Thanks so much to everyone on this board for the learning opportunities is has provided us all.
