Michele damage?

From: Durightmm at aol.com on 2001.11.06 at 04:10:40(7736) We in SW Fl were spared her wrath but also her welcome rain. Is it too early to hear of possible storm damage to our friends on the East coast? I hope you all survived with minimal dmages.. Joe

But, the beaches are very, very badly damaged. Much of that damage has been caused by the very heavy winds we have experienced over the past two weeks. +More >We in SW Fl were spared her wrath but also her welcome rain.  Is it >too early to hear of possible storm damage to our friends on the East >coast?  I hope you all survived with minimal dmages..   Joe Don Burns Fort Lauderdale FL USA Zone 10b

Friday we looked Michelle in the eye, loaded a trailer full of aroids, and drove off to West Palm Beach to do an aroid exhibit at the Mounts Botanical Garden sale on Saturday. Other loonies that participated in this act of denial were President Scott Hyndman, Julius Boos, Charlotte Green, and Elizabeth Mateus. Reporting live from Miami Ron Weeks

Or maybe development on former dune systems?

Or maybe development on former dune systems? Certainly building on the beach has something to do with how the damage manifests itself. No question about it. But the fact is that many areas of the beaches that are close to virgin are badly damaged also. -db-

Perhaps these close-to-virgin beaches around the State of Florida and elsewhere that are damaged will manage, as nature has always accomplished, in re-nourishing themselves this time, in fact I`ll almost bet on it!
