And So It Goes
Hurricane Harvey, Irma, and Maria will put a strain on the electrical utilities and almost everyone else. I'm wondering who will be left in Puerto Rico if the initial estimates for restoring power are correct. A few days is a long time and and a few months would be a real game changer for an island that has little money and not many options.
The Florida Keys are advertising that Key West has power and is open or business. The drive from Miami to Cayo Hueso will never be quite the same, even if the locals can get a cold beer while they are waiting for the adjuster and the contractors to fix stuff.
The piles of tree debris are everywhere in Miami Dade. Yes the roads are almost entirely clear, the football season has resumed, almost all the signalized intersections are working, and just about everyone who can be reconnected to the power grid is up and running.
The new drama will now move to the lawyers, contractors, insurance companies and the federal, state, and local governments who will have a big hand in who gets paid for what, and how much of this stuff will get reimbursed.
The tourist season is almost here and the hotels, restaurants, and their help will need customers to pay the bills.
Coral Gables is fining FPL for taking too to reconnect everyone, contractors that signed up to remove trees and other storm damage are asking to renegotiate those deals, and we are still trying to get someone to get the generator we will need for the next outage up and running.
