I lived on holiday rd. in cutler ridge during Andrew. Need I say more? Oh and by the way, the masking tape on the windows thing........doesnt work!

@spanky735

I don't know why some people put masking tape on their windows. The only thing it does is stick to whatever is left of your windows, and is impossible to remove. A silly superstition at best, for lazy people who do not want to board up.

I had a friend that lived on Holiday, a block north of Cutler Ridge Rd: Chip K. I recall a trailer from a tractor trailer was deposited in his next door neighbor's pool. BUT, as with most brick homes, it was mainly the roofs that were damaged.

My mother has gone through Camielle, Betsy, Andrew, Katrina & Rita. (shes like a magnet for hurricanes) From what she says, Andrew was far more the worst she's been through. She's from Louisana and moved back there not long before Katrina. She told me Katrina was bad, but she never thought it was anything close to how Andrew was. She has alot of experience w/ those storms. We told her after Katrina & Rita to stay in Louisana, we'll come visit...lol

I don't remember the street we were on during the storm. We were in the industrial section of Sunnyland. There was a row of Austrailan pine trees behind us that blocked the shops from a neighborhood. My father owned Crossover Boats & my grandfather owned Fowler Electronics which was right next door. Just a few months before Andrew we lived on 100th Ct & Colonial Dr. The last time I was down there was in 95

@thefowlerfam The northern edge of the eye was at about 200 st. If you were at 124 st, you were 4 1/2 miles from the eye. If you were at 112 st you were 5 1/2 miles from the eye. South of there is the Falls area. In Miami it is 16 streets to the mile.

I was 15 when Andrew hit. We just moved to the Redlands. Thank God we stayed at my fathers boat shop in Sunnyland. We still went threw the worst of the storm, we missed the eye by about a 1/8th of a mile or so, but most of the building stayed up. But or house was gone. I live in Tampa Bay now & my wife's family couldn't understand why I was so worried when we had Hurricane Charlie heading toward us

I was 10. My roof did not fly off, thank GOD...my dad boarded up the windows well. However, shaking of the house, whistling of the wind, transformers blowing, power lines going down, flashes of light, noises impossible to describe (sort of like a train or a big horn, popping, banging...) In summary, I thought I was going to die. I was in South Dade, about 10 min. from Country Walk...pretty bad.

Thanks for sharing the link, Richard! Your account was great too. Steve.

We went through the eye. Just watching the video makes me feel ill. 300 horses died or had to be killed that day. It took us 2 hours to go 5 miles to check on a friend, whose house it turned out, was totally blown away. We worked w/ the animal Mash unit for weeks on Krome Ave. . A man we knew as Col. Mack from the National Guard served as a live-in vet for 5 weeks & saved dogs' lives working in the worst of conditions imaginable. The animals we saw were in pitiful shape & completely traumatized.
