Does anyone have the Rescue 911 episode where a hurricane comes and a radio tower crashes into a home, injuring few. Can't remember if it was Hugo or Andrew.

@GuyverFan95 That's "Hugo I" from Episode 118. Someone uploaded it on MySpace. Search myspace videos for "My Hurricane Hugo Rescue 911"

Tells you how outdated this video is. Shatner referred to it as the worst hurricane in the country. True till Katrina hit.

So it was a mandatory evacuation, but they wanted to stay? Uhhh alrighty.

@gregersen80015 katrina itself wasn't stronger than this. it was the broken levys that caused the devastation along with poor evacuation plans

[wadyano]

@meggiemeg86 nowadays if people stay after a mandatory evacuation they are billed for their rescue if they get in trouble.

hugo was a bad storm because it came so far inland andrew and katrina might have been worst but hugo affected us in the foothills of north carolina thats what made hurricane hugo so bad they will never be anther storm named hugo

[lothbe]

hugo was a very bad storm i live in western north carolina and it was really bad here katrina was a bad storm to new orleans and the gulf coast but hurricane hugo was a bad storm for the east coast it may have not been the strongest but as i remember it it was pretty bad

Gotta love That chicks glasses ! Very 80's looking but sexy in that same way ! : ) Also , Hugo was a category 4 not a 5 . Andrew was a 5 . They didn't so much have less knowledge but they only had George Bush Senior to point their finger at back then !

[rycon246]

Hugo still had a greater magnitude than Katrina ! George W. Bush was not in office at the time . The media had not deemed Hurricane's "Racist" just yet !

[StefanoFan27]

wow, that's intense.

Hugo was a Category 4 at landfall.
