1) you forgot to close the url

2) WOW! I wasn't here for Andrew, but the SW eyewall is right over where I live now...sheez.......

Amazing how close it was to Miami Beach.

[sweetpea]

That is scary. I moved out of Miami in July of 92. I lived in Miami Springs. I lived 2 blocks from Miami airport. I left just in time. Debbie

Fixed.

[HeatherAKC]

Indeed.

And there I was...West of 117th Ave, between 88th and 152 Street, just sick.

Oh yes, that killer donut. Man that came close to me.

SweatPea, that horrible core is pretty small. The airport area wasn't hit that bad -- that's north of downtown and that was spared -- or Andrew would have been much worse.

I was only about 20 miles south of the south edge of the core -- that's the island of Key Largo under the red, and my garbage cans hardly blew over, believe it or not. But where that that red ring passed, ruin.

I remember watching TV with tears coming down my face. All I could think of was that we left just in time. (we moved to Orlando). The apartment complex that I had lived in lost some of its roof and some walls collapsed. Don't know if it was the building I had lived in or not. My heart broke with what I seen and heard that people went thru. I love to watch them from far away they are beautiful storms. I don't want them were I live at now though.

The thing that still rings in my mind was a couple of days before landfall when Andrew bombed - the look on Jim Cantore's face (yes, I know I know...) gave me chills. He genuinely looked like he just saw a ghost in the studio.

Thank ya for fixing it

[ohiostorm]

I remember watching it on tv but I was young. I dont remember his face at all. I dont think we had TWC then.

Canelaw, if you ever travel Krome Ave, look on the east side of the road, just north of the Everglades Hotel and south of Lucy St. You can still see the slabs and what is left of the electric service of that MH park. In fact there was another one leveled at Palm Drive and Krome as well. I took pictures of 997 at the center of Homestead the next day. Shivers.

I'll always remember his face on the weather channel when Andrew was making landfall, looked as if he were gonna throw up

wow!! hair stood up on that picture.....I live right below 184 st....east of us1....its been almost 13 years and I still get nervous eveytime I see a storm headed in my general area

[Sanibel]

Last December I stood at the tip of Key Biscayne wondering exactly where Andrew came in. This shot makes it all clear. It is amazing that the lighthouse wasn't toppled. It was just a few hundred yards outside the donut. There are some stilt houses out in the bay that took the direct donut.

My friend lived at 88th at the time. I can see he took about the same as the tip of Key Biscayne. He now lives at 185th - which would have been in the peak eyewall! Wow! His house was built after Andrew.

I wonder how Andrew was when it exited near Everglades City and Chokoloskee?

that radar image is on my hurricanes book....part of my course studies this semester

[baygirl_1]

Wow! Amazing... It makes me think of my friend who was in Homestead at the time. She and her boyfriend spent the night in a closet-- he was holding the closet door shut and she was pulling down on the chain to keep the attic door closed! Their closet was the only part of the house left standing.

OMG are you serious?

Yeah. She doesn't talk about it much and that's about all she'll say. I'm sure it had to be absolutely horrible, esp. the noises they must've heard. But, that's all she'll say.
