I lived in Miami/Homestead since Hurricane Andrew and lived through every hurricane that came our way until the day I left in 2013. I remember sitting in the Homestead ARB Crisis Action Team (CAT) meeting, and the weather guy was briefing the path of Hurricane Katrina. It's going to miss us, blah, blah, blah. Well, I listen to him and didn't do jack about the house. Around 8 PM, the winds are picking up, and I'm like WTF. This thing took a turn, and hit homestead with CAT-1 winds, and dumped around 18 inches of water in like 6 hrs. Since then, I've never listened to any weather forecaster, I make my own decisions and monitor the National Weather Channel. Oh and just when you thought a hurricane will only impact coastal cities, think again.
