I remember Andrew well. We stood amongst utter devastation; patrolling out neighborhoods with shotguns for 2 days before we heard a peep out of the state or the Feds. Trees blocked all access to our area. It was at least a week before we saw military choppers in the sky.

Where were you at? I was in the Tamiami Airport/Country Walk area.

I also remember the incredible number of people who would have rather died than lift a finger to help themselves. If it wasn't for the military coming in, these people would have died out of sheer stupidity.

I was there the day after Andrew hit and I remember helicopters refueling over the Tamiami airport. They were probably National Guard. When the feds were brought in I saw C5's flying into Opa Locka every five minutes. Incredible!
