This was a scary time. I lived in Fort Myers, on the other coast, but my girl friend lived near Ground 0, south of Cutler Ridge in Miami. For 24 hours therre was no phone contact. She survived, but that was when I learned suspense is quite different in real life than in a novel. The only scarier moment came 6 years later when a doctor said he was considering doing a brain operation on my wife. even being fired off my job last year wasn't as scary as that.
@AroundSun All Pacific hurricanes are named. They are not neglecting them. It's the Atlantic hurricanes you have to watch as they are more of a threat to the U.S. The Pacific hurricane in this is Hurricane Lester. It was not a threat to the U.S. Andrew was more imminent.
Remember Hurricane Iniki? It hit Hawaii in September of 92, just a few weeks after Andrew made landfall.
@ericsummey95 yes, but I feel like all my years of watching the weather channel during hurricane season I never see pacific hurricanes. Is it another season? How often do they go up californias coast? just wondering..thanks!
@AroundSun The season of Pacific hurricanes begins on May 15, and ends November 30, so no the seasons are the same except the Pacific hurricane season starts about 15 days earlier. I remember many Pacific hurricanes TWC has mentioned. They had a special on Hurricane Iniki when it struck Hawaii. As for the California coast, it is not likely. Since reliable records began, only 4 Eastern Pacific hurricanes have brought tropical storm force winds to the U.S.
@AroundSun The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and ends November 30. The Pacific hurricane season is 16 days longer. In the Atlantic, there have been tropical systems before June. In 2003, Tropical Storm Ana formed on April 18 and dissipated on April 27. There have been others as well. The Western Pacific typhoon season runs all year round. Last year TWC talked about Super Typhoon Megi, which made landfall in the Philippines and Taiwan, and made a 2nd landfall around Southern China.
@ZZMann33 when I lived up in NY State our High School had a canned food drive for the victims. I'm in Florida now but on the opposite coast,not far from Tampa.
I was in Cutler Ridge at the time on Montego Bay drive. Andrew struck on my 15th birthday, and when it hit I thought that would be my last. I remember thinking that I was born on 08/24 and would probably die on 08/24/92. My family and I lost everything in the storm and were homeless for 3 months.
I don't think Hurricane Andrew made MiamiDade County stronger as a community. As far as I can see it's still the same over populated, crime ridden and politically corrupt community it's always been. But you can't beat the Weather!
@wowzers57 There's a lot of crime in Miami Dade County. Just look at the Miami Beach Police Department for one example. A real bunch of nice guys. Would'n you say?
@moviemagg Crime Ridden parts of Miami is Coconut Grove, Overtown, and Liberty City Miami is a wonderful place with beautiful women despite all that it's my favorite city in the US besides Chicago
I think you need to get your facts straight. Hurricane Andrew was not the most powerful storm any human has ever seen. The Labor Day Hurricane of September 2nd 1935 was the most intense Hurricane ever to hit anywhere in the United States. That storm hit the middle Florida Keys with wind gusts of 250 MPH and had the all time lowest pressure reading of 26.35 inches. It also killed 408 people with many more missing. There were no Tornado's in Hurricane Andrew and you did not see any.
@moviemagg No one ever said that it was the most powerful storm any human had ever seen !!!!! Andrew did have tornadoes in it & how can you tell anybody what they did or didnt see? P.S. There was no need for attitude either!
@niamh2739 You said it was the most powerful storm any human has ever seen If you don't remember just go back and read you comments on this video and you will find it. I just checked and that's what you said. Hurricane Andrew DID NOT have any tornado's in it. You DID NOT see any tornado's when Andrew hit. How could you anyway. The storm came ashore at 4:AM. What did you do, shine a flash light on the funnel as it lowered to the ground with 165 MPH winds blowing all around you.
@niamh2739 Wow! It look's like I really "got your goat". Google that, if you don't know what it means. Your not like gonna have a cow or something right here on UTube. Dude, I think you need to chill out a little. Anyway, I just checked again. If you look down at page 5 on the comments section you will see where you said "Hands down the most powerful storm any human has ever seen. I remember seeing several tornado's" It's all there for you to see in black and white. You wrote it!!!
In reg to the tornadoes- "As with most high-intensity storms (Categories 4 and 5), the worst damage from Andrew is thought to have occurred not from straight-line winds but from vortices, or "miniwhirls" (something like embedded tornadoes). This was the conclusion of Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, a University of Chicago meteorologist who is known for the development of the Fujita scale for measuring the strength of tornadoes." cont.
@niamh2739 Listen, I know all about the great late Tornado expert Theodore Fujita who developed the F-scale by which tornado's are rated. He did a damage survey in South Dade and concluded that there were NO tornado's in Andrew . Just like you wrote, he called them Miniwhirls which I've known about for years. A Miniwhirl is NOT a Tornado. Look's like you got smart and did some research. I tried to tell you this before. I read Fujita's report years ago. There were NO Tornado's!!!
@moviemagg "In 2002, The Atlantic Basin Hurricane Database Reanalysis Project examined Hurricane Andrew and this corridor of extreme winds embedded within Andrew's northern eyewall. The project concluded that Category 5 conditions on land occurred only in a small region of southern Dade (now Miami-Dade) County, specifically close to the coast in Cutler Ridge. The remaining areas affected by Andrew's initial landfall in Florida likely experienced sustained Category 4 and 3 hurricane conditions."
@niamh2739 Your just telling things I already know. I will give you some credit for doing the research. At least perhaps now you know a little more about Hurricanes.
That was all per wikipedia. As per the International Hurricane Research Center at FIU-
"Many Hurricanes bring tornadoes with them, adding to their destructive power. Tornadoes are usually found around the center of the hurricane where the thunderstorms occur. Tornadoes comprise tight circulating winds moving at a Fujita speed of F1 and F2 with a forward motion speed reaching 30mph." ALSO "
@niamh2739 In the future, do not trust Wikipedia when doing any research on Historical Weather events. It's best to refer to the National Weather Service, the National Hurricane Center or NOAA. Most Tornado's that occur in connection with a land falling Hurricane occur in the outer rain bands which extend many miles away from the Eye-Wall or Center of the Storm. With that said, no tornado's were observed anywhere in Dade County in connection with Hurricane Andrew & you cant see a miniwhirl.
@moviemagg "Hurricanes are categorized by sustained wind speeds using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. To date there have only been three category 5 hurricanes to affect the United States (Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Camille of 1969, and Andrew of 1992). When Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, it destroyed or damaged 80,000 buildings. Property damage exceeded $30 billion, making Andrew the costliest natural disaster"
as per the tornado project dot com that will also proove that hurricane andrew produced tornadoes or vortexes that are measurable by the fujita scale. So keep talking that smak about what you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT MESSAGE ME ANY FURTHER WITH YOUR PETTY ATTEMPTS TO ARGUE.
@niamh2739 Who's arguing. I was just trying to correct you. There was no Tornado Project that ever proved that there were Tornado's in Hurricane Andrew. Why don't you go "Take a Powder" (and if you don't know what that means, google it), and I will stop with my petty attempts to reason with you. Like they say, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". See you in the eyewall, niamh2739. Again, I hope you had fun doing the research. Think I will give you a B+
@moviemagg Wow I see that you have pretty much picked an argument and had nothing but negative stuff to say to just about everyones elses post on here as well as mine. You are sorry person too! I did offer lagit scientic reliable ref to my info in addition to wikipedia unlike you who justs insists on telling me what you state is fact with out evidence. Not to mention your still continuing to insist I wrote something when I did'nt. I went back to even tripple check and no where did I write any of
@moviemagg the stuff you said I did. You have done nothing here but call me names and pretty much call me a stupid liar when I am the one siting reputable "besides wiki" sites for my info and you are not. You are touting your personal thoughts as fact when its just BULL. Telling someone to look at noaa and quoting with a link are totally different. No where does NOAA say that Andrew did'nt have tornadoes I checked! Perhaps you should be the one getting educated and do some REAL research!
@moviemagg Relax relax dont get your panties into a bundle. I wont keep making this difficult for you anymore obviously you can't handle a real educated conversation with someone who does'nt feel the need to lie through their teeth, state false facts, and call names but thats ok I supose there has to be some sorry pety people out there, people like you for example because, otherwise how else would anyone learn how not to behave! So apparently your behavior is needed somewhere....just not here.
I bet there were more than 2 waterspouts with how they form with the mass amounts of convection associated with hurricanes. That 1935 storm (from Key Largo) is one thing as a homeowner we never ever want to see but know we are ''overdue'' for one.
I remember a great deal of happening in an daround andrew. Katrina had more deaths but Andrew took its toll both in lives and in physical damage it took years to rebuild and get rid of the debris. It forever changed SOFLO not only physically but also how we feel about each other. It brought out the worst and the best in us all. It made us stronger as a community as a whole. A category 5 Hurricane is no joke people I can tell you that much it was a sight to see and I survived Hurricane Andrew!!!
I will never forget andrew I was in cutler ridge by southridge senior an evacuation zone my family got stuck there "long story" Hands down the most powerful storm any human has ever seen. I remeber seeing several tornados in it and the pure destruction and devastation it left in its wake. It took my family's home. I rember the no electricity for several months even when school restarted a few months later....thats how long school was delayed due to damage. AAAHHH memories.
August 24th, 1992....A day I will never forget. I was in living in Kendall on Kendall Drive at the time. Scariest thing I have ever been through. Winds in excess of 160 mph. I remember listening to Brian Norcross until he let everyone know that they were going to take down the power grid and that they would be back on the air when it was over. That left me with an eerie feeling. Could go on and on about it...
I went through Andrew in '92. Was part of Amateur Radio emergency comms team assigned to PBI. Went down to Kendall that weekend to help w/relief efforts. Lost a new friend down there after he got struck by lightning while assisting unloading NatGuard relief chopper. was a very difficult time during recovery there :(
@Hurrican3AJ1 ha cool man! i was born in '00 so ya know but my friend once said as comparing in class 2 hurricane he was gonna compare andrew and katrina! :D
Closely listen to an Inception dvd made prior to the January the 8th Tucson shooting, especially around the dialogue, "Do It." Check my quotes for more information.
Speaking as someone from the Mid-West, I'm watching these clips and trying to imagine myself planning another weekend not knowing that by Monday my home, job and half my city would be gone forever. Its mind boggling.
My best friend at the time (michiel from Holland!) survived that hurricane while on vacation in Miami. He came home (to the netherlands) with a cool T-shirt which had the phrase "I survived hurricane Andrew" on it. Very cool memory!
Thank you sooo much for posting this.. i was just a boy in 3rd grade when this hit but this impacted our lives more than anything before or sinse this happened and i have lost our orriginal vhs of this production but glad to see this again.. fyi we were in the Kendall area
it will rapidly intensify like andrew right by land fall and become a category 10 hurricane with winds of 300 mph...mark my words, worst than catarina
i hope that everyone in the storm was ok or at least some bruises and scratches and there is one question they had tv in 1992 !?!?!?

Not. Funny.

People like you are sick.

My best friend at the time (michiel from Holland!) survived that hurricane while on vacation in Miami. He came home (to the netherlands) with a cool T-shirt which had the phrase "I survived hurricane Andrew" on it. Very cool memory!

How is it that Perrine, FL was not in the hurricane Andrew evacuation zone when it is closer to the ocean and only 12 miles from Homestead?
I don't understand that.

I hope Ana doesnt become the next andrew, the similarities so far are eerily similar, frist storm, same time of year, and similar track (so far)...
