IN AND AROUND BOCA RATON, FLORIDA Here are a couple of pictures I took October 24-28, 2005 right after Hurricane Wilma passed through. The eye of the hurricane passed directly over my home in Boca Raton.

  This tree fell across the road about a block from where I live.  These apartments were damaged, but only superficially. They're about a half mile from where I live.  This huge tree was uprooted near the apartments. Trees were uprooted everywhere.  Another gigantic tree blocked the sidewalk and fell into the road. It's about three-quarters of a mile from where I live.  This tree destroyed electrical equipment close to where I live.  Broken roof tiles are strewn all about on my roof.  This tree was split in half right outside where my brother lives.  Pity the owner of this car that was parked near where my brother lives.  When a big tree goes down, it very often peals off a neat layer of top soil.  Another vehicle was parked in the wrong place during Hurricane Wilma.  Downed power lines interrupted traffic on Federal Highway in Delray Beach for days. This location is about four miles from where I live.  This steeple (by Military Trail in Delray Beach) was blown over by the hurricane's westerly winds. It's about a mile or so from where I live.  The way back home. |
