Re: Update on hurricane aftermath in Orlando
I had to make a trip to the Orlando area this weekend. There was visible damage along the turnpike, billboards down, trees down and even turnpike signage down. several exits had portable signs announcing the upcoming exits. Between the 192 exit and Osceola Pkw. ext was the worst. I was able to catch glimpses of damaged homes. Many roofs were covered with Blue tarps. The area I went showed no damage. I chose not to sight see through town. It was very much like we had when we were hit by Andrew. My prayers are with everyone dealing with the aftermath.

Re: Update on hurricane aftermath in Orlando
My friend is a photographer for the Orlando Sentinel (local Orlando newspaper), and some of her pics were put into a hurricane damage photo gallery at this site: gallery
This is my friends car, or at least what's left of it. Also, check out #149 and see the massive tree that almost crushed their house. Very scary.
