Homestead, FL. It was adjacent to the Air Force Base, which was abandoned after the hurricane.

Well.. it was devastated and no longer used as an official Air Force Base, but it was rebuilt in much smaller scope, and now is Homestead Air Reserve Base, home of the 482nd Fighter Wing. I lived 10 mins. from there. I'm sure they're tasked to patrol the FL coast and would bet have participated in Iraqi Freedom. The politicos have been trying for years to turn it into a cargo airport and sort of free trade zone .. to replace the cargo function at MIA. Don't know what the status of that proposal is since I left 2 yrs. after Andrew.
