Memories of Hurricane Andrew

John Koziol posted an interview with him after losing his house durring Hurricane Andrew (in late August 1992). It brings back memories.

...Koziol got stranded upstairs, isolated from the equipment he had stayed to protect, when the hurricane whipped into his neighborhood. It came on so suddenly and so fiercely that the doors blew off their hinges and knocked him down twice. He survived by using a mattress to create a cave in a closet. Only afterward did he notice that the sheetrock on his bedroom walls had disintegrated into powder...
I was living in Miami Beach at the time and we received nowhere near the strength and the damage during Andrew that he had. We were the lucky ones.
