[@lordmatthewanunnahybrid1356]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Yes, please everyone take evacuations seriously. You do not want to ride out a cat 4 or 5 near the coast. If hurricane Ian would have jogged more north and hit st Pete Tampa we are talking 500+ deaths because many people who were supposed to evacuate didn’t and that includes me. I most definitely will next time because once I saw the hurricane hunters find cat 5 winds and Ian took a due north jog for a few miles I was sweating bullets. I was confident it would take the Charley path bc when they strength rapidly in the gulf loop current they tend to take sharp east turns. Thank you for spreading awareness.

[@emchammer1815]

you can tell that the emergency preparedness has improved. Today, they give dire predictions a lot sooner because it's much more desirable to be wrong than to be exactly right. People will complain about false alarms so they have a fine line. I just don't see the urgency in this news cast. Usually, they would say "now is the time to be prepared. stock up or find a shelter". But they seemed more intent on being right.

[@optimuslibby]

I don't think they ever even anticipated Andrew. And have learned from Andrew's devastation to give residents time to prepare. At least in my opinion.

Man. Lived in Boca Raton, FL then; about 60-mile north of Homestead which took this thing head on. I was 4, and I remember everyone just being scared as hell. We lived in a townhouse and decided to ride out the storm in my grandmas brick house. Let me tell you: that house SHOOK. Was a very scary evening sleeping on a mattress in my grandmas hallway.

[@moviemagg]

Your wrong! First of all, Boca Raton is about 80-miles north of Homestead and the highest winds reported in Boca were only some wind gusts to 60-mph at best. So your grandma's brick house DID NOT SHAKE. If you were in Florida City, Homestead or Cutler Ridge then your house, condo or apartment building did shake.

[@robbyu.672]

moviemagg so, first of all, it’s “you’re”. Let’s not look stupid while trying to act smart. Let me tell you, I was 4. So, to me, things seemed to be shaking. Relax, you’re not that cool and your channel isn’t, either.

[@moviemagg]

@@robbyu.672 You're right about that Robby. Spelling was never one of my strong points. I never said I was cool and I my channel here on KZbin is in no way meant to be cool. It's just a bunch of videos on topics I enjoy. You appear to have some type of insecurity issue. Maybe you lack a certain degree of self confidence. I don't know. Just because I corrected you're incorrect statement about the distance from Homestead to Boca and the winds recorded during the Hurricane does not mean I'm trying to look cool or act smart. The facts are the facts. So relax and get a hold of yourself. And lastly, I understand you were only four years old back then but unless you rode out the Hurricane in a tent, it still did not shake in Boca Raton during Andrew. Like the song says, there's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees.

[@moviemagg]

Gee, I was living in North Miami Beach at the time Andrew hit and I don't remember seeing any cars that were destroyed. I think you are talking about the Homestead or Florida City area or mabey Culter Ridge. No cars were destroyed in North Miami Beach. The eye wall or inner core of Andrew never even came close to that area. North Miami Beach only had wind gusts between 90 and 100 MPH. Nothing like they had down in south Dade where the winds gusted to well over 200-MPH. Down in that area is where several were destroyed or crushed by fallen trees.

I think you're right that Andrew had no tornadoes in the classic sense of tornadoes. As a ferocious but compact storm, the dynamics were not right for tornadoes, never mind that it came ashore on Florida at night. But from intensive analysis by both the NHC/NWS, and tornado expert Dr. Fujita, Andrew did feature vortex-like wind enhancement within the eyewall - not tornadoes, but tornado-like in ground-level structure and impact. By all accounts and details, it was a hell of storm.

I was in a very old mobile home in Tavernier key.My home was missing a few tie downs and we thought it was going more north but it came straight across. When it hit full strength the mobile home started to rattle on top of the blocks that it sat on .Brother let me tell you,I did not think I was going to make it. That was a long scary night. Alot of people in the keys ran for the Maine land at the last minute, only to go into the storm and die.

My goodness 1992 i was 19.. I remember watching this

[@feverspell]

I remember Hurricane Andrew very well. I was home sick from school when it made landfall, and I was lying on the couch in our living room watching the breaking news from The Weather Channel. I was only 10 at the time, and had never seen anything like that before in my life. The trees were swaying so far back they were touching the ground, pieces of buildings were being ripped off....scared me to death. Thankfully we lived in Chicago, where hurricanes aren't a weather phenomenon.

[@amandap6278]

Wow I was 13. I was and still am in Texas. We are used to this stuff here. When I hear a hurricane is coming I just go back to sleep.

[@desEL087]

I just turned 5 years old when it hit. Rode it out at Motel 6 in Port Allen, La. I have very clear memories of watching the Burger King sign sway in the wind. Lol

[@القا-ه6خ]

This hurricane reminds me of my young life and also the year 2003.

[@jackrayanberg3130]

How old is he here? He had been around for a while !

[@marcelrodriguez8860]

Lived through this in 92 as it happened and watched Kendall and homestead get destroyed as well as my neighborhood on NE 135st in North miami. Dealth with the aftermath, the price gauging, the looting, the destruction, no power for 2 weeks and dealing with a devastated Dade and Broward. Kinda surreal to see this all this time later.

[@N7mudkip]

marcel rodriguez we had no power for months, let alone a house :( homestead AFB

[@KrystalBradsher]

I miss John Hope RIP

[@youngshepherd0371]

Same he was very smart

[@str8trkn]

Lady_K thank you very much for mentioning the older gentleman I grew up and I was trying to figure out his name and finally somebody like you mentioned him!! That man was almost genius if not he was genius and Jim Cantore second genius lol

[@suzannewillis817]

The weather channel is naked without him.

[@enderex040]

Looks like Hurricane Andrew's big Sister is coming for round 2 with Florida

[@eventvisionsinc]

160+ WINDS i will never forget the sound of the winds,

[@TheAlliconicOne]

what was that song at 6:40

[@Rio_Redd]

If you look closely you can see where everyone went wrong and why Hurricane Andrew was so unexpectedly destructive...thanks Jim Cantore

[@Superbook4Eva]

Rick Griffin... whatever happened to him? John Hope was a true class act and is still missed. I actually wrote him when I was about eight or nine years old and he sent me a lot of Weather Channel stuff back with a very nice letter (not a form letter either!). Wish I still had it.

[@lillychillydrop]

wow, i have been learning ALOT about this hurricane!!!!!!!!

[@SuperToyotaLexus]

It reports that because the winds aren't all the same everywhere. The closer to the center, the more intense it will be. If you're at the end of the gale diameter, it will be barely tropical storm winds.

[@ZZMann33]

Jim looks so young. I remeber this when i was a kid.. Crazy.. What a hurricane it was!

[@andrewonly7624]

Wassup!!!!! Here heard it from @Omargoshtv

[@stangibilisco]

Went through the storm in Homestead. Extreme winds from North for 45 min; eye passed over with light breeze 45 min; high winds from south (less extreme than before but still bad enough) 45 min more. Some rainbands still packed gale-force winds however. Indeed the core of the storm resembled a shelling. Main house (built to strict post-1926 code) withstood the assault but more recent additions did not.

[@vtecivicsib18]

how did you get this

[@moviemagg]

@electricguitarplayr You are correct. The Galvaston Hurricane of 1900 was a strong cat. 4. As many as 12,000 people were killed in that storm...

[@bgwx6237]

One thing I did not like what the NHC director said was when u should be preparing based on 1 or 2 kts per hour. He should’ve said u need to start preparing now. U can’t base ur Hurricane Preperations on only a Hurricane Warning. Poor use of words to inform the people of FL. And then he continues to elaborate on how u shouldn’t prepare bc u may not be in the watch. That wouldn’t be tolerated with today. 8:50

[@frnchfry69]

Ok thanks

[@joeringle38]

That hurricane Andrew was a huge wind storm that was amazing wow

[@Potterholic1]

Something tells me that if Mr. Cantore has been running around in Hurricanes for this long, he probably should retire. Still love him though.
