This was the Andrew track, August 1992 (the lowest track):

This was Katrina, August, 2005:

This was Rita, September 2005:

The NOAA map is nice, but I think the WeatherUnderground maps are much prettier.

Between Cape Sabel and the Barron River there is this “white spot” clearly visible from off shore as you cruise north or south off shore a few miles. It looks like sand dunes from a distance which would be very odd for florida. But it is indeed the place were Andrew came out. The white spot is actually dead mangroves bleaching in the sun. We now have the same thing here on the West Wall of Charlotte Harbor. Charley stripped the mangroves. They are dead and turning from grey to bone white.
