Andrew was something.
I drove through Homestead a few months after Andrew hit. The place still looked like Beirut. Awful amount of damage.
I have a sister who lives in Brandonton. Just moved there, in fact. I asked her if she was leaving, and she said no, because (1) it didn't seem that bad in the forecasts, and (2) the nearest place for them to move their dogs was Fayetteville, NC!
I obviously can't get a hold of her right now, but I'm hopeful everything is alright there.
CA....
