things starting to get back to normal in the Tampa Bay area but wi have a long way to go....
plenty of people still without power.....curbs are filled with branches and down trees still which are brown now and not green......
the stores are still out of meat and produce....and a lot of popular canned foods like tunafish
especially Aldi and Save A Lot who had nothing in the refrigerated or frozen food sections this weekend....
Publix and Walmart are doing a much better job than the aforementioned of getting their shelves restocked...
listening to everyone bitching about all the refrigerated and frozen food they lost is getting real old fast....
don't know what people were thinking of when they stocked up and had the refrigerators full when Irma hit....
mi kept telling people don't be surprised if wi without power for a week or two....they all laughed at mi....guess mi got the last laugh
with my experiences on the J island mi know not to have much in the freezer compartment at any given time with der power outages all da time...
5 days out from Irma mi started eating everything in the freezer compartment which wasn't full to begin with...mi only been back 2 weeks
so mi virtually didn't loose anything......unlike mi neighbors who have been filling up der garbage cans with spoiled food
the weather has been very hot and humid since last Wednesday so mi feel for the people here without power or were without power...ugh
an electric company from Texas has been working three days on replacing the lines from the two big ass oaks that came down across the street...
they put up two new telephone poles and everything....huge job...they worked till 10pm every night too....they finally left yesterday
schools started up again today and as did the government facilities....last week it was like a ghost town in St Pete....never seen anything like it...
for those that have never been thru a Cateogroy 2+ Hurricane or tornado.....you are one lucky son of a gun...count your blessings
