I experienced the eyewall with Katrina & Wilma passing through S Broward county. Katrina was like a bad thunderstorm as it mostly did tree & shrubbery damage. Wilma was much worse, it took off half my roof, most of the trees are a goner around here, and of course it wreaked havoc on the power and communication systems down here. It is just starting to get back to normal around here, though we will see Wilma's scars for quite some time. Wilma may have been reported as a strong Cat 1 when she passed through Broward but, being through the experience and seeing the aftermath there is no doubt in my mind at least in this area that there were strong Cat 2 winds around here.
