Yeah... on my drive to work Friday (Orlando to Palm Beach for the weekend), I passed dozens of utility and tree-trimming trucks heading back north on 95. There were still a few in the area down here, including a few from Progress... but remember all those out-of-state guys are just contracted for disaster relief, so they were either heading back to their home regions, or better yet to Ivan country.
While FPL has been getting a lot of blame for slow restoration (and rightfully so, thanks to their complete lack of tree clearance), the actual line crews have all been top-notch, and worked their butts off to get things back up as soon as possible.
