Ironically I was in 3rd grade and for the weekend my mom and dad along with me and my sister drove from Texas to Defuniak Springs Fl . . . We stayed for a while because my great grandmother had passed away and we were salvaging what was left at the time in her home.
So the family loaded up a U-Haul truck. After we loaded it we started to head back and that is when we came into contact with the first outer bands of Hurricane Andrew. In fact it rained so hard that the U-Haul started leaking. I also remember seeing streets that were full of what looked to be 1 ft of water.
As my dad and I were hauling ass back to Texas we got a warning from police on the side of Interstate 10 that the roads in Louisiana were shutting down. In fact all of in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama portions of I-10 were being shut down. My must of fucking floored that shit back to Texas because we managed to get back home safely using I-10.
So when I get back to Elementary School I tell my entire class about Hurricane Andrew and how I was inside a Hurricane named after me. That is when my teacher took me outside and called me a liar. I kept telling her I was not a liar and she eventually had it with me and called my parents. That is when she found out I was actually telling the truth. |
crazy. Andrew really had the potential to fuck new orleans just like katrina did....can you imagine, it hitting miami and new orleans? talk about a horrible storm

Yeah, I was living in Miami at the time. And coincidentally enough, I now live in Homestead. |
still any evidence of Andrew down there? i mean, is there shit that is still destroyed? i heard it took around 10 years for it fully recover; but i always kinda wondered if you could tell if something had happened or not.
