News flash... FPL isn't the greatest power company in the world... There
are more outages than I care to count. This is why you should invest in
a UPS if you already haven't done so. Those things will save your @$$.
And since it is now the rainy season, expect a lot more outages courtesy
of the lively lightning around here. :)

What is the DEAL with the power outages around here?? I went for two
whole years in Germany without one single power outage -- I've lived
here for a little over three weeks and there have already been two, one
that lasted for at least 5 hours. Are the power co. techs that
incompetent or is the infrastructure that weak? I'd think that they
would have found some way to protect the system from mother nature by
now...
