           Today back in '92, Hurricane Andrew flattened 85,185 houses in this area. Those living in Lemon City, Liberty City, Little Havana, and Little Haiti could barely tell. Here is a montage of the relative size of some of the smaller orbiting bodies in our solar system. There is a committee in Europe, Prague, I think (Does not rhyme with Hague) that is about to dictate to the world that Pluto is no longer a planet. The strongest argument is that Pluto does not orbit in the same ecliptic plane as the other planets. It's orbit is also more eccentric, indicating it may be a captured object that got too close.
