When we examined her destroyed house afterward, her sofa had many large hand-sized chunks of broken glass sticking in it, like a pin cushion.<BR/>A guy who worked at the gym I worked out at, stayed there during the Hurricane. He was sitting next to a concrete block wall, and he said he saw the wall began to expand, and then it exploded. He ran just before it exploded. <BR/>Where I worked, the second floor was gone. A wall on the first floor had fallen on this guy's Corvette, crushing it.<BR/>One beautiful girl that worked at my company had blood in her eye, where a vein (or capillary?) had popped, apparently from stress and trauma.<BR/>A couple from my church spent all night pushing against their front door to keep it closed. <BR/>My Pastor and his family stayed at the church during the hurricane, and they had to run from room to room, as each room was destroyed. They hid their youngest daughter in a cabinet to protect her.<BR/><BR/>Following are some reader comments concerning Hurricane Andrew:<BR/><BR/>johnnyjet33030 (1 day ago) <BR/>Yep, there were so many helicopters overhead for days after it looked like a major war zone, complete with sporadic shooting from looters, police and then the guard.<BR/><BR/>mhr254 (2 days ago) <BR/>I was in a shelter in Cutler Ridge.... Everything in my neighborhood was absolutely destroyed. Total destruction. I remember watching this and crying for hours.<BR/>The day after was total mayhem. No law. Gunshots all night long I watched my dad fight a man at a destroyed shopping center.<BR/>A few days later we had National Guard stationed at the entrance of our neighborhood. Thank God for them!<BR/><BR/>johnnyjet33030 (3 days ago) <BR/>Also, undocumented, 100's if not thousands of people killed - mostly illegal alien field workers in trailers and hiding under trailers - I spoke to many guards and helpers who saw such and I witnessed refrigerated trucks leaving homestead all night for many nights reported to be hauling bodies. Of course officials have always denied this, but many saw this. Official death toll rose dramatically after time passed, as did the actual wind speed and strength changes to Cat. 5 years later.<BR/><BR/>johnnyjet33030 (3 days ago) <BR/>Yea, Florida City, which is about center ground zero in Homestead, took full force dead center eye wall and the eye center. The whole Homestead area looked like one of the photos from Hiroshima, Japan, after the atomic bomb attack. Everything was flattened, especially trailer parks and weak construction. Brian Norcross was a hero of the storm---saved a lot of people with his advice and constant broadcasts. People who tried to bolt to cars, etc, outside, were killed by debris.<BR/><BR/>johnnyjet33030 <BR/>Actually, the anemometers broke off at Tamiami Airport in Kendall at 215 gusts and at Homestead Air Force Base, they broke at 235.<BR/>The major damage area was about 30 miles diameter, centering off of Homestead, Fla., which is about 20 miles south of downtown Miami - the National Hurricane Center was then located in Coral Gables, about 15 miles north of center of eye wall, still north of the north east wall which spawned over 1000 tornadoes. The hurricane center recorded 160 mph winds, 15 miles north.<BR/><BR/>1957bassman<BR/>I was in an apartment in Florida City. First, the roof and ceiling split away. Then, one by one, the walls fell apart. I was listening to the police on a scanner. The eye came over Perrine and there was about 10 minutes of calm. Then…..the back half put me on the ground with my head split open. I spent the next month in a Tampa hospital.

In fact, the instruments in Miami they were using to measure it, broke at that point, so they really don't know how strong Andrew finally became. In addition, there were tornadoes with Andrew, which did incredible damage. My workplace, and my sister's house, were demolished, and it took a year for them to rebuild my workplace. My sister had to live in a trailer for about a year.<BR/><BR/>"With the 2008 season just shy of two months old, July's storms either broke records or bumped the month into the top tier among July's past.<BR/><BR/>Hurricane Bertha entered the record books as the longest-lived July storm on record."<BR/>This quote is from <A HREF="http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0725/p01s07-wogi.html" REL="nofollow">Hurricane Season: Big Start</A>Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.com
