The Swain home, residence of one of Pompano Beach's pioneer African-American families, sustained heavy damage from Hurricane Wilma. According to at least one construction expert, it is questionable whether the house could be restored at this point.
Hibbard Casselberry (Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society) reports that while there was no structural damage at the Hillsboro Lighthouse, the blowing sand blasted the paint off the surfaces of the keeper cottages and the Barefoot Mailman statue.
