8. Wilma was something of a surprise

It went right over my house and was stronger that the predictions anticipated. The thing that surprised me is that it came from the SW and crossed a good portion of the state before it got here. I expected it to lose more strength coming over land.

That was still nothing like Andrew. I was in Miami at the time and spent a lot of time inspecting in the aftermath. That was like a 20 mile wide wrecking ball. South Floridians were really complacent at that time because it had really been a generation or more sense the previous serious threat.
