The dysfunctionality of fpl and meteorology has really reared its ugly face on this one
Honestly, what in gods name are you talking about???
Real meteorologists saved a lot of peoples lives last weekend. Forecasting hurricanes is amazingly hard to do and each year they get better at it. Three full days out they were off of landfall by about 100 nautical miles give or take. They got people to evacuate and listen for the most part. Do you have any idea of how bad things would have been in the keys if people didn't leave?? Furthermore, this storm was amazingly strong and if it didn't interact with cuba you would be looking at different headlines.
As far as FPL. Look, sorry you might not have power or whatever but its coming back online quickly. They had line workers ready to go in numbers never seen before. Just so you understand though. They need to clean streets in neighborhoods before they can even get in their to identify and fix the lines. I get that it sounds cool to to just make blanket statements like that but its not well thought out.
In storms like this it can take more than a month to restore power. Its just logistically impossible.
Im tipping my hat to the guys and girls at the NHC. I know for a fact that they were literally locked into their office and worked in rotating shifts to save your ***. Separated from their own families and getting little sleep.
