Excuse me mr weatherman, we're still confronting Tornadoes daily and nightly. You will have to postpone Hurricane season until we have the current party debris cleaned up. Please have your guests wait in the lobby until called.

When I lived in Florida, hurricane meant free firewood for the winter.

What is firewood for??? Hahaha
@EyesThatSmile The firewood was for day three.
By day three, if the electricity had not been restored people realized all the food in the freezer wouldn't stay frozen. Therefore they held a block barbecue and used it all the thawing large slabs of meat to feed the block.
On day two, those with generators fired them up and took their TVs outside. Crowds from around the block gathered. Ohhh...television.
Until the power returned, might as well party.
Day one was recovery from the hurricane party that used copious amounts of fruit punch and rum.
@WonderWartHog99 I've often wondered why the government(Fed? - State? - County?) or even the utilities themselves don't require their supply lines to be placed underground when they start the myriad cleanups and repairs that occur in the Southeastern part of the country? I would like to blame it on trump's lack of interest in infrastructure but it wasn't done during any other president's, governor's, etc. term either. Why Not????
@SiouxcitySue Burrowing animals, people with shovels who don't check before they dig and water levels that corrode lines faster than air.
@WonderWartHog99 they are put inside concrete corridors - generally water tight and impervious to two-legged and four-legged burrowers. Where I live in AZ, my subdivision was built in the late 1960s and all utilities are underground. Ari-fucking-zona where our natural predator is sunshine and heat. Our only power failures are when it's so hot that the power companies can't keep up with the demand. I need more reasons why. My natural inclination is to follow the money. It ain't cheap to construct but then the maintenance is even less than nominal in cost. Leaves all those workers to help shore up the rest of the infrastructure.
@SiouxcitySue Where I live in AZ, my subdivision was built in the late 1960s and all utilities are underground.
Here in Dixie gas lines are under ground. High powered electric lines are on top of tall towers right up to the power sub station. Generally, from that point on it's up for grabs which utility lines are on poles and which are buried.
Ari-fucking-zona where . . .
. . . I'm totally clueless how they deal with utilities. Putting them in connecting concrete vaults sound obscenely expensive. Additionally, I've never had sex in "Ari-fucking-zona." I suppose I ought to find willing women to round out my bucket list and include the other three corners of the southwest.
When was the last time you heard some one plead ignorance about Ari-fucking-zona and your nameless suburb?
@WonderWartHog99 Just now. Thanks for your consideration.
@SiouxcitySue That'll teach me not to subscribe to Arizona Highways and look for power lines in their pictures.
