I lived in Miami Beach when Andrew hit, and we had to evacuate to Jupiter (North of West Palm) Not much happened up here, but when I got back home it was weird... Like a war- zone with National guard guys everywhere even directing traffic (no traffic lights left) everything was different for almost 6 months. Miami was lucky though really.. Homestead and Kendall got the worst... totally flattened. Unreal... I love storms, but keep those huge ones away from me.
I remember the storms we'd get when I lived in New Orleans, it seemed to always flood, and my mom always warned me about the water mocassons and the garfish coming out of the drains when it backed up.
