Reply #36: His electricity will go out pretty much instantly when the storm

hits. Mine did during Charley (everyone else I knew lost power too), but I stayed online for about an hour and a half with a battery. I spent only a bit of that time checking for updates from DUers on the storms progress (the rest of the time I was hiding out in a closet), but most were having fun making jokes about Florida getting what it deserved and only provided me with good wishes (at best). Hopefully this time around, more considerate DUers can be standing by with radar images and other info for those that can stay online with battery power for a short time.
