Of course I almost wrecked pulling over to get this
picture. It says it all about the resilience of the
people of Florida. Everyone I talked too was in a good
mood, despite their hardships. Insurance Companies were
gathered in trailers working with homeowners, FEMA was
everywhere, working to help those whose homes were
destroyed. Many credit the preplanning of the Federal
Government and Governor Bush before the Hurricanes with
minimizing the affect of the people of the area.

A typical Billboard in Florida. This one was in the
Titusville Area.

The Florida Orange Groves took a heavy hit. Trees in this
orchard were not damaged very much, but the fruit was
knocked off of most of them, as well the leaves.

The symbol of the hurricane. The Damaged sign. Most
restaurants are open and operating. However most gas
stations are missing the Awnings over the gas pumps, and
almost EVERY McDonalds looked like the one above.
A typical Gass Station Awning.

US 50 in Orlando. Still has water from a lake on both
sides of the road.

St. Johns River about 9 feet over normal levels.
Damage to some of the buildings between Titusville and
Sebastian Inlet.
