Well, I have been in Florida
for about 9 years now and I can now finally say that I have been
through a hurricane. Actually, the eye of the hurricane came right
over my place with wind gusts of about 100 mph. The storm has
been over for about an hour now (it's 11:00 PM on August 13, 2004)
and here are some pictures form the damage around my place.

The winds are still in the 50+ mph range right here with
a boat load of rain being dumped
|

This is one of the pine trees right outside my apartment
that was snapped in half.
|

The small tree ended up like so many around here tonight;
uprooted.
|

I snapped this picture as we drove through a darkend
intersection. This signal used to hang above the traffic.
|

You can see this traffic light, like countless others
around here, down on the ground and blown off the street.
|
I'll post more pics in the morning when
there is a little more light. |
