Right, but now it's at grade on high ground. I guess you could say the utilidors are below current ground, but they're above the average elevation and the ground slopes away from them. I'd guess they're not at a super high risk of flooding unless their roof leaks

Until 2 pm. Then all parks are open for passholders.

At least not in the morning. But once all the disaster-expert-for-a-day vloggers leave, we're good to hop on in

Most likely new reports as people return to property and call in outages

Oh no! What will the vloggers do if they can't all make the same video of magic kingdom damage.

KUA in Kissimmee has been undergrounding, and weathered the storm better than most of their competition. They have 90,000 customers and have less than 2,500 outages at the moment. I'd say it's worth it and there are likely grants available as well. Editing to add - they had 14,000 outages this...

I'm wondering if they realized they're not in a position to staff it today. Not sure much is gonna be open out in the world today.

Apparently 85% of orange kept power

That's what I always hear, so I was surprised they did so well. Of course much of this could be down to service areas and luck

Interesting OUC (slogan: "the reliable one") faired so poorly in outages compared to others. In Osceola, they lost power in 45% of accounts (!!!) but KUA only lost in 15%. In orange, they have nearly twice the outages of Duke with only half the customers. Not sure if they're behind on...

But they can hear the cash screaming to be let out of the wallets

I think springs will be open by 5 for sure. And will be mobbed by folks without power. I'm sure some stores won't open, but would imagine restaurants will if they can get in early enough to prep

Wind dying down. I mean still intense, but better. Phone says 45 mph gusts now, was 73 when I fell asleep at midnight. Power still on.

It's nasty out there

People are stupid

6-9 feet in Tampa Bay would still be catastrophic, even if greatly reduced from initial expectations.

Old man Milton just meandering wherever he wants. Glad to hear the eye is breached.

Still going NE. 5pm advisory should be interesting. Just had a strong wave of rain come through here with some fast moving clouds.

Loving that hurricane is decreasing as we get closer to landfall. Keep steady my dude - no wobbling north allowed

Maybe. Worse wind, less rain?
