MarieElaine 31 Posted October 31, 2017 Wonderful video! Haven't been to Key West in about 10 years and it looks like it hasn't changed much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JudyS 174 Posted October 31, 2017 Hasn't changed much? You can't be serious. https://miami.curbed.com/2017/9/15/16313860/florida-keys-hurricane-irma-damage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonnie 594 Posted October 31, 2017 I believe Marie was referring to the video as appearing much as Key West always has appeared. I agree. It looks essentially the same as when I was there about 35 years ago and as when I was there about 15 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It appears this video was shot late winter early spring from the appearance of the new leaf growth on the trees. We have friends in Marathon. The recovery is moving very fast. The drive from Miami to Key West is a gem. A must do for anyone's bucket list. We did it twice in 2005. Key West along with Saint Augustine are two of the best places in Florida...but not in the summer! https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/the-most-scenic-drive-in-all-50-states-america-s-best-roads-pacific-coast-highway-pikes-peak-route-66 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of this material was filmed by me two weeks ago. Cudjoe Key, Big Pine Key and Marathon suffered tremendous property destruction which was piled on the main road (not shown in this video) Key West was mostly tree and vegetation damage.

MarieElaine 31 Posted November 1, 2017 I apologize for the comment as I meant that the picture the video offered was the Key West I remembered. Obviously the damage from the hurricane is horrific and changes the landscape immensely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
