Of Hurricane Andrew today (24th), crazy. We had a house in the Key's and couldn't get hold of neighbors or anything to check if the property was ok. Drove down there to check on it and it was fine, no damage, or even water damage and it was directly on the waterway with the beach/ocean across street. No damage, couldn't believe it. But driving down there we had to go through Homestead....was like a nulcear bomb went off, still remember that Burdines buidling that was basically cut in half (and was something like 10 stories?).
Whats crazy is they never got an accurate reading on Andrew even though planes had recorded sustained winds of 180+ mph, which factored to about 160-170 mph on the ground. Andrew destroyed every anemometer recorder so they never had an accurate measure only estimates.
