HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Two
weeks after being pounded by
Hurricane Andrew, south Florida
staggered Monday toward what
might have to pass for normalcy,
as temporary crises gave wry to
the beginnings of a long recovery.
Authorities said shelter, food,
water and clothing were available
to everyone who needed them.
The desperate scramble for life's
necessities was replaced by long
lines for food stamps and federal
grants, tedious home repairs and
cleanup, and family life in annoy
ingly close quarters at military
tent cities.
“It's beginning to look more
like the old neighborhood again,"
said Bob Beolet, mowing a neigh
bor's lawn in the hard-hit Cutler
Ridge area. "It's good to see the
clean up guys here."
Down the block from Beolet,
county garbage crews loaded de
bris into dump trucks. At another
house, a contracting crew nailed
plywood and tarpaper on a roof
peeled apart by Andrew's 165
mph wind Aug. 24.
New federal and state aid cen
ters opened, handing out millions
of dollars in food stamps, disaster
grants and interest-free loans.
Help-wanted signs sprouted
along U.S. 1, some for home sup
ply stores struggling to keep up
with demand.
Contractors roamed tent cities
seeking laborers at $10 an hour.
Federal marshals exhorted the res
idents to work.
"We don't want people to just
sit around all day," said Eric
Thompson, a deputy U.S. marshal
The five tent cities, initialll
shunned by most storm refugees,
suddenly were nearly full Mon
day.
Evacuees were sent out of H
schools that had served as shel
ters; the schools had to be pre
pared for the start of classes Sept
14, two weeks late.
"We feel it's real important that
the kids get back into school.lt
will put a normal pattern back
into their lives," said Nancy
Retherford, a Red Cross spokes
woman.
Military tents housed 2,154 peo
ple early Monday, and ArmyB
Col. Bill Reynolds said more tent
cities may be built.
"It's no longer just a few tents,'
said Roland Bombalier, who went
to the one at Harris Field six days
earlier. "It's really a small town.”
His new neighborhood includes
a medical tent, kitchen, showers, a
barber shop, a YMCA day care
tent filled with raucous children,
and a tent with lawyers offering
free advice.
Amenities such as televisions
and videocassette recorders have
been added, and a sound stage
was being built for live band per
formances.
