Hurricane Wilma

Posted by George on October 24, 2005
Posted in: Personal.

Hurricane Wilma, the 7th hurricane in 14 months to visit us, has devastated this area. 98%of Broward county has no electricity, and it will be 4 weeks before it will be fixed. Without power, there is no gas, since it takes power to pump gas. I am creating a page of pictures of storm related damage. All of these pictures were taken within bicycle distance of my house (most are within 200 feet) since I am saving what gas I have to run the generator, and many streets are not passable by car. I can post these pictures since I have one of the few working phone lines in the area. Tubelab, and the SE amp boards are obviously on hold for a while. My work place is closed due to damage for at least a week. It will take about a week to clean up the mess. I have lived in Florida for 53 years, this is the worst hurricane that I have seen. Andrew caused worse damage, but over a much smaller area. Wilma has caused severe damage for at least 5 counties. There is a path of destruction that looks like these pictures that is 100 miles wide, and goes completely across the state.
