Our one-hour radio documentary commemorating the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew premieres on Friday, August 24th at 9 a.m. on WLRN 91.3 FM and WKWM 91.5 FM (in Key West).

A cul-de-sac in Cutler Bay comes together after Hurricane Andrew, and how they keep the dream alive to this day.

When we walked out at first light,  there was no color here. The paint was gone off the houses. There was no grass, no trees, no color, nothing. 

“Unless you lived it, Andrew ,Katrina, or any other big hurricane, you can never understand the pain, the despair, the shear panic of facing the possibility of dying, of losing everything.”

- Robin Graham of Orlando

“You can survive without electricity. You can deal with cold showers.”

- Edwin McClean from Homestead
