Just getting out and about in Broward County where some have electricity and some don't was a wake up call after Hurricane Irma. Stores that were open didn't have phone or their computers were down and only took cash. I needed cat food so I went to Pet Smart and the parking lot was full of trees overturned and Yellow Tape everywhere and once inside they said they were only taking Cash. I only had $20 cash on me and then found $3 more in change for the cat food! Publix our largest grocery Store still has bare shelves with brands you never heard of. Winn Dixie was closed! One nail Salon was open and she said people have been waiting an hour to get their nails done and today I am going to get my hair done by Generator because downtown Fort Lauderdale still has no electric.
