- Miami Herald covers Amy Carol Webb, September 2004 by Lily Leung. The interview ended while Amy was wrangling shutters in advance of the storm.
She reported,
Hey, things must be getting a little more toward normal here in Miami-Dade -- we've got Michael Stock on the radio, getting a dose of the music we missed this weekend. We stuck our heads out to go up the street and get two things we craved - Cuban coffee and the Sunday paper - as Frances delivered us only a perpetual tropical storm with brief power blinks, tree damage, and serious cabin-fever but little more. We know our friends further North are suffering more.Experiences
Past event coordination for political, sports, media and civic purposes have been conducted. S6 makes a platform for blending community interests into a dynamic package.
