Re: Notable Cyclones Part IV: Hurricane Andrew (1992)
Tue May 22 2007 05:29 PM

Well done. This cyclone is one of the defining events of my young life, despite it occuring when I was but a wee lad.

I must admit that I argue with my dad to this day concerning the whole death toll conspiracy. I don't see any motive whatsoever for such a conspiracy, but there is no convincing the old man.

I think the 1992' hurricane season as a whole is a testament to the fact that even in comparably lukewarm seasons, there is still potential for massive destruction.

There were only seven named storms in the 1992 Atlantic season, of which Andrew held the distinction of being the only major hurricane. Every year there is a risk, and each passing season that any major impact zone goes by unscathed, only increases the chances for next year (unless you live in Georgia, of course, because your so overdue that it isn't even funny).

PS: You can see my old street in the last image; lived off SW 187th.
