Power trucks, linemen and crews roam around Southwest Florida still, more than a week after Hurricane Ian made its devastating landfall. To the residents, those trucks are a welcome sight — they mean progress.

  1. Personally I think it's amazing how quickly they've been able to restore power in most places in Florida after hurricane Ian. I lived in St Petersburg, Florida for about 6 years and I would lose power for 12 to 24 hours a few times a year just because, not even storm related. However, when hurricane Irma hit, I lost power for 3 weeks and that was a much smaller storm than Ian and caused way less damage. The most frustrating thing was after the first week, the power company was sending alerts out daily saying that the power would be restored by the end of the next day. So I sat there for 2 more weeks getting a daily promise that I'd have power "tomorrow". I really resented their lies and it would have been much easier to deal with had they been honest and just said they didn't know when the power would come back on.

  5. Wonderful people, they know their neighbors and look out for each other. I'm glad they are doing well. It's hard to put the pieces back together quickly when the damage was so wide spread. De Santis was on spot, he declared an emergency early to get the ball rolling. What a great Governor!!

  12. 👏👏👏👏👏👏💃💃💃💃thanks to the FIRST responders for ALL of their hard work. This is what being America is all about in the call of duty. GOD bless you each one from Tampa Bay Florida, USA. 10/09/2022 Let GOD's light shine through the darkness 🌄🌅🌇⛼🌞

  22. They are all lucky it's only been a week. If there hadn't been so much preparation made before hand they could have been out a hell of a lot longer. You make it seem like they shouldn't have been out any length of time, geez they took a good hit from Ian.
