Friends of the Greater Miami AMS chapter:
As we move into the month of August plans are being finalized for commemorations marking the 20th
anniversary of Hurricane Andrew.  I have made up a calendar of several events that I have heard about that
is given below.  If you have items to add to this list please contact me.  I set up a page on our chapter's
website which I will update with any new entries as I receive them.  
Thanks to all who've contributed to this list.

efforts to gather data during Andrew and the scientific papers published from that data set.
