You're doing your part.  You've stocked up on supplies and you're now shopping around for hurricane shutters or other forms of hurricane protection.  You have a plan in place for before and after the storm.  But why hasn't our power company done their role to help our state?

In South Florida, it seems like EVERY powerline is located above ground.  It's like we're just asking to go 2 weeks without power after a storm.  We have to do something to UPDATE our infrastructure and place those powerlines below ground.  

I understand that this may seem like a huge task costing millions of dollars.  But how much does it cost FPL to bring down contractors from out of state to repair thousands of overhead powerlines after a storm?  Including overtime, double overtime, meals, and other costs associated with supporting their contractors?  

When will we learn to hurricane shutter our electrical grid?
