The morning after Andrew hit in Homestead we were ordered to break into South Dade High School and make it a shelter. This was August 25th, days before the schools were to be opened. We cut open locks and broke down doors. The reefers in the cafeteria were loaded with food. People in distress really step up and take charge. I'll never forget the woman I placed in charge after we set everything up. Went back a few days later and she had everything squared away.
