Scary!
I was in Perrine, east of the highway.

Really hoping and praying not to have to go through that again. Not to mention how scary these things are.

The whole neighborhood was guarded for weeks afterwards with National Guard troops. 82nd Airborne also came in, camped a block away, at Southwood.

Yea, I have a ton of pictures from Andrew. The 82nd Airborne guys were really cool. I am in Boca Raton now and it is not going to be pretty.

Howdy former neighbors! I lived just off of Eureka Drive in Cutler Ridge. The northern eye wall of Andrew passed over my neighborhood, 165 mph winds. I live in Broward now (Davie), and this storm is scarin me for sure, when all previous since Andrew have barely drawn a look from me...

Tommorrow, my extended family will make the rounds, putting up shutters on all our houses. Mine will be last, I have no shutters or wood, but I hope I'll have some leftovers from the 4 houses that will be done before mine...

You know, alot of people secretly hope the storm hits them, you know, just to test their mettle or whatever, I know I was like that before Andrew... I am definately NOT that way now... "Rain, rain, go away...."
