Though probably 30 miles from the eye of the hurricane, Horseshoe Beach took quite a beating. It is a remote fishing village. One house in this photo has collapsed. A truck was pushed/floated into the canal. The seawall is heavily damaged. Most homes/businesses in the town were either damaged or destroyed.
We brought a truckload of supplies from 300 miles away. Every person manning the distribution center stopped to say thank you.
Today, I mentioned it to my hairdresser and he did not know anything about the hurricane. We get caught up in our lives and forget about the struggles of others.
@rickster549 I think most in S Florida are completely unaware that the hurricane hit actual communities. Many large areas were not hit, so it isn’t “a big deal”. I was only able to collect supplies from people I personally knew.
Oh my goodness, such devastation - it’s hard to imagine people don’t know what’s happening in their part of the world. I’m sure those in the area were very appreciative of your efforts
@ludwigsdiana we are thankful that we get time to prepare. Everyone that was hit this time headed the advice to evacuate. There was little loss of life. Definitely a lot of damage in some areas, which is sad.
