    Speaking of this general topic, I'm hearing up here that it's going to
be weeks perhaps before power is restored to southern Florida. Crews are
working to get things going again, but I have to wonder:

1)    Are they working diligently to put the lines back up in the air (to be
blown down again and again)?

2)    If so, why?

In other words, just how high does the line voltage have to be before it
cannot be buried? Or, if that isn't the issue, then what is the reason for
having so many overhead lines vs underground?

And, if power isn't readily available, and fuel isn't (very) available, how
many stations are on the air down there, and how?
