Hurricane Wilma

24th October 2005 to 25th October 2005

Hurricane Wilma tore through Miami Beach early Monday morning. Although we were hit fairly hard, the damage wasn't nearly as substantial as other parts of SoFla. Perhaps the most surprising part of the storm (and its aftermath) was a lack of water in the streets. I ventured out shortly before 1PM to capture some pics of the devastation. The cleanup was already underway on Ocean Drive as local businesses got cleaned up and a few even opened, selling cold drinks, coffee, crab legs, sandwiches, etc. Tuesday the 25th was a perfect day and SoBe was operating normally as power came on along Ocean Drive and the Art Deco District.
