Produktbeschreibung
Nearly 20 years after Wilma devasted Florida, two authors made the decision to issue a report on Wilma's devastation in Pembroke Pines and Southwest Ranches, Broward Country, South Florida via pictures. In doing so, their discourse covered several hurricanes and how their countries and families battled the storms and won. One author documented hurricanes impacting her family from she was born in the 1950's up to the 1980s when she immigrated from Jamaica to Europe. The other addressed the lack of hurricanes in Brazil as she grew up until the historical Hurricane Catarina hit three states in 2004 causing tremendous damage to life and property. Other hurricane features in the book covered the hurricane category levels, the top five hurricanes to hit Florida, and details of the 2005 worst-case scenario of a relentless hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma Wrath has been despairingly called many names such as the Hurricane from Hell, Katrina's Evil Twin, and Wicked Wilma (in this book). If you want to learn more, buy this book and reminisce on the destruction that hurricanes can cause to lives, property, and culture because of their pervasion in particular locations such as Florida. Of course, the authors ensured that the book ends on a positive note because after a storm comes a calm. Pictures depicting the rejuvenation of the community close the book chapters. The takeaway is that life can dish us some terrible things, but we are resilient people who will find ways to overcome our challenges and get back to normal even if it is a new normal.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Indiana Robinson was born in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1950s to David Harrison (Brand Flu/Comvalius) son of a Surinamese immigrant and Indiana Emily Harrison. Her mother, Louise is the daughter of Ellen Lipscombe Perry and James Blake Perry. Dr. R, as she is known to her students, is married to International reggae artiste, Jackie Robinson, lead singer of the Pioneers Reggae Group. She credits her husband, her sisters Fernandie and Sharon, and her two brothers Edgar and Arthur as the pillars on which she stands in pursuing her dreams and aspirations. With no children of her own, she values her stepchildren, Bobby, Marc, and Kelly; her nieces and nephews, Major C. J. Reid, 2nd Lieutenant Tara Price, and Errol Jnr Price; Krisan and Captain Caniggia Harrison; Marsha, Sean Rohan, and Dean Hibbert as well as her grandnephew Caleb and her Godchildren: Dean Beckford, Jahari 'JaJa' Yates, Tyree Hunter, and Little Joan Ennis-Thomas. Dr. Herma Meade Thompson is from a large family. Her mother Viola (nee Baker) and father Reginald were both from the parish of Manchester on the island of Jamaica. Viola was the second wife of Reginald who had ten children from his previous marriage to Florence (nee Stewart). Herma is the eleventh child for Reginald and the only one for Viola. Viola embraced her ten stepchildren (whose mother had died) and continued their upbringing as if she had been the one who had given birth to them; a feat for which she will be forever held in high esteem in their hearts. Herma now has four stepdaughters as a result of her marriage to Lascell - Crystal, April, Laseiqua, and Akelia. Is she in some uncanny coincidence retracing the steps of her mother?
