    To use this news article to express myself but, with the last 12 hours power has gone off FOUR times for the day. Now when things like our large appliance are affected, who will replace them? What is really going on in this place?

        I have seen surge protectors burn by powerful power surges. Si using surge protectors on house appliances helps, but they are not fool proof. The electricity power grid needs upgrading.

    The heat is brutal and it is only going to get worse. Soon you will be able to fry a egg on the sidewalk. Global warming has now consumed the world. I’m nervous about the hurricanes, hurricanes feeds off heat. The only thing one can do is start preparing themselves and their homes. INVEST IN A GENERATOR.
