I remember Andrew quite well. I was in Miami, where I'm originally from. The worst damage was to the suburb of Homestead (southern part of Miami). These homes were new, but quickly built using poor materials and techniques. Entire neighborhoods were completely wiped out in this area. I should say that this caused all the building codes in South Florida to be updated, making, Miami, now very hurricane resistant. You specify "after," so: The electricity was out for over a month for everyone in the city, some had no power for several months. The ENTIRE city had no power, so there were: no traffic lights, all food could not be stored in a refrigerators. Restaurants that weren't destroyed could only serve fresh food. For the 1st few days it was very difficult to move around the city since almost every small, and some medium sized tree was littering the street. The streets were filled with boats, overturned cars, dumpsters, satellite dishes. People had fish in their pools, things were very chaotic. Schools were forced to open weeks or months later than usual. Some schools could never open, from the damage. Looting became a major problem, store owners began arming themselves against this. Thousands of people had to live in "tent cities" built by the national guard. The national guard helped quite a bit. Hurricane Katrina passed over Miami causing some damage as well, I should note that if it weren't for andrew, Miami may have had worst damage. Windows are harder, doors open differently, window shutters are very common, and so are gas powered generators. All new, after Andrew. You never here about Miami and Katrina, only New Orleans, because Miami is a great example of a very wealthy city that spent very much effort in Hurricane safety. Hope that helps, those are just some things I witnesses with my own eyes, theres much more though. Jorge
it killed a lot of people it left people homelsess i
it did not
It killed 26 people by direct effects, and 39 indirectly.
Well, technology allowed a massive evacuation to be ordered as Andrew approached, unlike the hurricane in 1928. As a result, much fewer people died in Andrew.
5 thousand people were left homeless after the hurricane.
No. Hurricane Andrew is nowhere near being the deadliest hurricane. Andrew killed 26 people directly and led to additional 39 indirect deaths. The deadliest hurricane to hit the U.S. was the Galveston hurricane of 1900, which killed at least 8,000 people and possibly as many as 1,200. The deadliest known Atlantic hurricane was the Great hurricane of 1780 with at least 22,000 fatalities. The deadliest tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon, etc.) on record was the Bhola cyclone of 1970, which killed at least 300,000 people.
Hurricane Andrew was part of the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season.
