natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history
of the United States. Among recorded Atlantic hurricanes, it was the sixth
strongest overall. At least 1,836 people lost their lives in the actual hurricane
and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the
1928 Okeechobee hurricane; total property damage was estimated at
$81 billion (2005 USD), nearly triple the damage wrought by Hurricane
Andrew in 1992. (Wikipedia)
The City of Opa-locka damage consisted mostly of debris deposited throughout the

debris city-wide including pick-up, haul-out, and final disposal of 5,987 cubic yards
of debris.
