<Many people played down the low CAT 1 classification of Katrina in southern FLorida. They were unpleasantly surprised over the damage it caused.> Very true but most of the damage was caused by falling vegetation and flooding in poorly drained areas. There was I believe relatively little direct structural damage from wind or wind born missiles. Compared to Andrew this was nothing. A million without electricity, but we have roofs over our heads.
