It is just that few know about Pine Island( thats the way we like it) hence, very little coverage. It was sort of like Fla. City, Redlands and Homestead after Andrew. All knew of the devistation in Cutler Ridge, Naranja, Perrine, Kendall and points east, via the media. Yes, there was mention of Homestead, but not to the degree that it should have. I guess if we had multi million dollar houses on P.I. like Sanibel and Captiva, the spotlight would have been on us, not that we wanted it, but what happened, happened.
Yep .. I have to agree, as I came down to Homestead for Andrew cleanup. There was total destruction and it wasn't very well covered. I am very glad we weren't here for Andrew.. and we live in Fla. City now after moving from Homestead
Hope we're still safe for a few more years!
Nice posts, btw.
