@gfalcon That was Miles Lawrence, one of the forcasters at the National Hurricane Center. He use to have hair like that growing out of his adams apple and all over his neck. He's been retired for several years.
thank you for posting this my family and I survived Andrew... It was horrible we lost our house and school and jobs. Still you go to Homestead or Cutler Ridge(we used to live there) and they haven't recovered since then. One of my classmates at that time lost her little sister (she was hit by flying debris).. Also one of my uncle neighbors (an appt complex) got their infant swept away by Andrew..
I remember the mother of that infant asking everyone after the storm if they had seen her baby. It was so sad. Her baby was found in a field in Perrine. I went through Hurricane Andrew huddled in a closet. I have never been so scared. I will never stay home again. If I remember correctly, the storm was predicted to come ashore in Ft. Lauderdale. I think that is why so many further south were apathetic.

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.
Wow, interesting to watch this after 19 years. It was a very frightening experience. We were cowering in a house on the north eye wall when Andrew went through and we weren't sure if we were going to live through this. Thankfully, the ten of us in a little tiny closet made it!!!
The last time I saw Bob Weaver in person, he was being helped into that same Publix in Hollywood by his wife. He did not look good at all. This of course was a short time before he got sick. On another note, I also went to that Publix in Hollywood the day before Andrew hit to withdraw money out of their ATM.
@moviemagg This is fascinating. I remember 19 years ago tonight going through the northern fringes of the storm as I then lived in Port St. Lucie. At precisely 3:00am it sounded like a bomb going off outside of our house. Obviously nothing compared to what Coral Gables, Homestead, and Florida City had. Our cable system had channel 10 out of Miami which had better coverage than TWC. Thanks for posting.
Damn Vivian is the only one still with the weather channel, she's pretty cool! This was a memorable storm, although I live in Ohio, I remember it was one of the first days of school for me and they had a memorial to the people who died and we did a fundraiser. Man I feel old!
My sister worked at a Publix in Hollywood and Bob Weaver from Channel 4 ended up on her checkout line the day before the storm hit. When she asked him 'what do you think will happen?' his reply was 'we're in serious sh*t.' A rather troubling thing to hear from the TV weatherman but man, was he ever right.
As bad as Andrew was it could've easily been ten times worse. A little to the north and it makes a direct hit on Miami. A little to the east once entering the Gulf of Mexico and it makes a direct hit on New Orleans.
wow it's interesting how they say no storm has ever affected a city like this before in the united states but just 13 yrs later another monsterous hurricane called Katrina did even worse damage than andrew by the way thx 4 uploading.
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
I remember this day well, Sunday the 23rd of Aug 92..I remember my mom coming into myh room (I was 17) and she said pack up what you cherish the most and put it in your car and go ..now!. Then she left for her shift at Homestead Hospital.. You can really see the worry in these reporters faces now in the 24 hours before it hit
Great footage. With all the hoopla of Katrina (which was a horrible disaster) people have forgotten what a huge disaster Andrew was. The complete north wall of the eye (the worst part) passed right over my neighborhood. It was the most scary moment of my life. We didn't get storm surge or flooding water but the strength of Andrew was way beyond comprehension, he was so strong that all those other elements were not a factor in it's destruction. Thanks again for posting all these reports.
Thanks for posting these videos. This is interesting as hell. One can't help but be amazed at how people were planning a normal weekend and then this storm starts closing in and by Monday, everything they owned was gone.
I'm so glad you included that radarscope graphic that 7 used for the opens to it's Andrew coverage! They used the music for months afterward for any Andrew-related "Road to Recovery" report and it opened newscasts proper for a few weeks after the storm. The graphics consisted of a white line representing US-1 zig-zagging out of the bottom of the screen and the names of various South Dade communities would then fly out before fading. After some time this was truncated to a short bumper.
I remember that cyclone update that you caught from 7:00 to 7:22 in this clip. That was definitely the turning point when it became obvious we were going toexperience a historic event.
