Still no generator, and I'm one of about 500,000 in Palm Beach County without power. FPL estimates power restoration in my area by November 22nd. Can't even find an 7500 watt generator on line. 
WHAT!!!!  I'm in Lake Worth! I had power back only 6 days after the storm, bro!! We were a beacon of light in the area of darkness south of you!
But you're still lucky. You're not on Lake Worth Utilities. 
Amen to that! 
I did get my power back after about 8 days also, but they kept taking it down every once in a while because some of my neighbors had problems at the poles that needed fixing. Next door had to have a whole new drop installed because the lines at/near the pole MELTED for some reason. I don't know why.... 
Got a two year old 5500 watt generator from my brother for free. All it needs is a rectifier. Keeps blowin' for some reason. I'm gonna tear it down over the winter & clean/rebuild the whole generator unit to try & solve the problem.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
