Hurricane Wilma

The purpose of going to Florida was to help my mom renovate her condo. It was only coincidental that Hurricane Wilma came through a couple of weeks earlier. Fortunately, my mom's condo was not directly damaged. The resident upstairs had her windows broken (and I assume water damage as well). My mom said that water was getting through her door.

The following is a picture of a giant tree which was behind her condo. My mom was without electricity for about 2 weeks. Can you imagine that? No refrigerator, no stove (it's electric), no hot water... No lights and it gets dark around 5:30 pm.


Here are some other pictures behind her condo. I wish I had the chance to take other pictures of the area. For example, there were places where many signs were blown out. The structure for the sign was there, but the sign itself was blown out... So sometimes it was difficult to know what business it was. In addition, some street directional signs were down or a stop sign was turned the wrong way.
