These are a few misc. photos I have taken following wilma, Mostly roofing related (my job, don't ya know) but they should be of interest. You can get an idea of what we've got here anyhow.

Unfortunately, my batteries died on on the day of the hurricane, when nobody had any power to charge them, and no stores were open, or I'd have more pix of destruction (they're on 35 mm film I may even scan 'em)

Nice pics. Where were they taken? Also, what do you do in roofing. I used to work for a company designing roofing trusses in Central Florida. Maybe we crossed paths at some point and didn't know it.

Typically, we deal with commercial and condominium retrofit roofing, focusing on flat roofing (generally hot-applied Modified/BUR and single-ply applications.) Just lately we've begun bidding a lot of new construction (for example we're installing roofing on University of Miami's new School of Nursing and School of Communications), but our primary business area is Broward, Dade and Palm Beach Counties.

You might have run into [SQN]Kick@ss (formerly [CK]) in central Florida. He was working for a contractor who does a lot of truss work on new home construction up around Orlando.

The company I worked for was in Haines City. We had clients all over the state. We produced the plates used to put the trusses together and the software to design and analyze the trusses.
