yeah, Andrew hit Eleuthra with 140KT winds and SFla with 145KT winds. It was one of the rarest of rare storms

I would rank the worst hurricanes in terms of human suffering. Thus, Mitch would top my list. Andrew would not finish in the top 10 because it didn't kill many people. I remember Hurricane Inez back in 1966 killed many. Katrina is third.....MGC

[Audrey2Katrina]

Depending on your source, Inez killed between 1000-1500 people--directly; I've found some sources claiming Mitch as high as 17,000, but the vast majority seem to be around 9,000, highest death toll since the Martinique disaster that killed some 22,000 in the late 1700's. Didn't track Inez, but I heard an awful lot of folks died in mudslides in Honduras around that time-- Is that what you recall?
