* I have several readers and subscribers down in Southwest Florida. I also have more than a few friends in that part of the world. Some made it out of the hurricane better than others. As I told you Monday, my buddy Bruiser rode it out at Fort Myers Beach. I’ve seen the photos and videos, but he says they don’t do the situation justice. It’s bad. Very bad. Paradise lost? I hope not. It’s such a nice spot.

* Utilities have “mutual assistance” pacts, and I saw on a SW Florida news site last night that crews from 30 states had been sent to the region. So, I reached out to ComEd to see what sort of assistance they were sending to the region. This is the response from John Schoen, ComEd’s Senior Communications Manager…

On Tuesday, we sent 100 ComEd employees, plus support staff, to assist Georgia Power with potential restoration efforts from Hurricane Ian, at their request. We also sent 250 contractors to assist Tampa Electric, at their request. Because Georgia was not significantly impacted, the ComEd crews were redirected to South Carolina to assist Duke Energy, as Hurricane Ian is expected to make landfall there next.

* Anyway

The water was risin’ up at my friend’s door
The man said to his women folk, “Lord, we’d better go”
