Some unnecessarily snide sounding comments about people who did not take evacuation seriously. I get it, but the storm took an unexpected path. I'm sure he was stressed.

Considering the fact that they were warning people for a week because of the unpredictability of the path, Curry was right.  I think he and the governor actually did a terrific job of preparing the city/state for this storm based on the relatively low numbers regarding fatalities.  You're not going to save everyone because there are always those idiots who don't heed the warnings, but most people did this time around.  

Now, as far as JEA goes, we've been without power since 11 am on Saturday.  The nor easter knocked us out and it has yet to be restored.  No sign of any utility trucks in our area yet either.  They're still "assessing the damage" according to them.  We were without power for a week during Matthew after someone "inadvertantly" closed the ticket thinking we already had our power restored. I expect similar levels of competence this time around.  We called this outage in at 11:03 am on Saturday. I checked the outage map last night after gassing up the generator and apparently we have power.  Only problem is we don't.  Called the JEA again only to find ouy they did it again. The call center guy had no idea what the deal was, and a new ticket was submitted resetting the clock.  We'll be lucky to have our power restored before next week. I've ever seen such an incompetent monopoly receive the kind of praise these idiots get.
