Do you remember the aftermath of Hurrican Andrew in South Maimi?

Not realy I was up in IL then.

I'd like to see that pic if you got it.

The picture is pre-internet from August of 1992.

South Dade countey was erased. Pictures could not do it justice. The devastation was near complete. No traffic signs, no wire polls, no water, just nothing. Some homes were just plain gone with others roofless shells.

(no wather meant no bathrooms) The local authorities were focused on keeping some order and this left the homes to fend for themselves. No telephone and no cell towers. Even with national guard and police, you were on your own security wise.
