Hurricane Jeanne hits Trailer Haven - PICTURES.

Hurricane Jeanne did much more severe damage in Trailer Haven, Melbourne, Florida, than Hurricane Frances did. Travel trailers did well, but manufactured homes and additions like roofs, carports and Florida Rooms were hit hard. I counted at least 12 units completely destroyed. But, since I cannot see the roofs from the street, the total is probably two to three dozen or more units.

My damage was mostly to screens, an A/C, carpet soaking in the Florida Room and about a one inch diameter hole in the pack of the trailer. I stayed nearby with friends and my car was damaged. The windshield is cracked and part of the top is scratched and chipped with rust now forming. I knew better and I should have fled from Jeanne.

the NOAA did aerial photos here

Click on the map for your county and then you'll see another map with lots of little boxes, the pics are really good.

At that link it says that it will work with IE. It did not work with Netscape. I went to IE, but it failed to produce a picture/pictures when I clicked on the links for several, little boxes.

Well, look at the bright side. The hurricane freed you from jail. Run while you can. Glad to see you are okay.

Dang Paul. Scary pictures.
I think I like looking at your hiking pictures better.

I goofed on the thread title. This string has been reposted as:

All I can think of is wow! IS everyone okay? I am assuming that all made it out of there safely and then came back to all this heartbreak. Our thoughts are with you.
