Georges devastation crosses Florida Keys as Georges recedes
Hurricane Georges surged into the Gulf of Mexico with 105 mph winds leaving wreckage across the Florida Keys. In Big Pine Key and surrounding areas, homes, trees, and utilities were damaged while shelters opened in New Orleans as the storm headed toward Louisiana. A 62 foot sailboat moved from its mooring to a backyard in Ramrod Key, and waterfront areas endured near total destruction along the chain.

Caribbean aid rises from New York’s poorest for Georges relief
Immigrant communities in New York rally to help the hurricane victims in the Caribbean. Dominican, Puerto Rican, Haitian and Cuban residents organize drives, loading over a thousand livery cabs with water, food, and medicine to ship to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The effort, led by Fernando Mateo’s Million Can Caravan, reflects deep communal ties and urgent needs as Caribbean areas face widespread damage and disrupted services.
