Hurricane Andrew 1992 As It Happened! Part-2

[@evanwallace4510]

I'm a huge weather nerd I was born and raised in 1988 4 hours north of Miami and used to love watching the man, the myth, the legend Dr Bob Sheets when I was a kid. Dude is an OG

[@eric21200]

These meteorologists are really good at what they do. They give very reliable information and remain very calm without all the hype and drama.

[@calvinrivera49]

But but but the chem trails. God, are people dumb

[@deborahelainegardner7529]

Hey! This was when the Weather Channel really WAS a weather channel. They did 21-24 hours of full broadcasting on their station. The Weather Channel did NOT have any of the so called shows of today! Love the old days!

[@ethanbell7283]

Back when they didn't purposely try to over exaggerate everything. I read an interview a few weeks ago from a guy in the Bahamas after hurricane Dorian hit then which was a Super category 5 bc a Cat 5 starts at winds of 140-150mph I think and it had winds of 190-200mph with gusts up to 210-215mph and the highest recorded gusts were somewhere around 220 or higher which is absolutely insane but in the interview that was written bc you know the guy didn't say half of what they put they said that as they were sitting in the roofs his son was blown off by a wind gust into the storm surge water and he lost him in it and drowned body was never recovered like that part is 100%true and absolutely devastating and sad but they proceeded to add that the guy said there were sharks all in the water and actively hunting them which complete bullshit bc anytime a hurricane comes ever shark and fish go str8 out to sea and dive as deep as they can go bc the current and storm surge would toss them around underwater like a rag doll and between that and all the debris in the water getting washed around would make it impossible for them to navigate safely without getting injured or killed bc the waters were only 10ft deep where the house were they hid in the attics at which is deep for us but not for sharks so that would make the current 10x worse in shallow waters and with all that water moving sand and debris the distance of vision underwater would be like 6in at best so they wouldn't be able to even see to hunt and besides that the most annoying part was when they said the sharks were actively hunting humans...... sharks don't hunt humans period bc we're not apart of their diet if we were then no one would be able to swim in the oceans ever bc there's always at least 1 shark within 100 yards of you in the oceans at all times whether it's 1ft 10ft or 20ft long sooo yeah I've been surfing for almost 20 years now and I've seen my fair share of sharks and they've never bothered me let alone "actively hunt" me. But it's reports like those that really really piss me off and prove that either they do it for more views or just don't have a fucking clue of what they're talking about period. Do gtag the weather channel nowadays is completely and total bullshit and half the time they have not a fucking clue of where the hurricane is going or what the hell it's doing whether it's going to strengthen or not they're completely clueless especially when they were tracking Dorian. But regardless let's all pray that the Bahamas get the proper help and assistance they need and that they are able to rebuild without anymore hurricane or storms hitting them this year before the season is over.

[@springhillgolfer878]

Such a different time. You maybe watched the evening news......most people didn't have cable so no access to TWC hurricane updates.

[@queenroyaltyrules55]

@@ethanbell7283 Your whole dissertation is full of ignorance. They are doing no more than needed to be done to warn the public. Andrew was a fucking nightmare and many thought they wouldn't make it thru the night including myself. Roofs blown off, houses caving in, the wind was so strong that it blew my front door open!!! And don't let me talk about Wilma. She was utterly just wind for 24hrs. I could hear trees snapping, electrical line sizzling, etc. I rather prepare & the storm changes course than to not prepare and end of dead. Now if they didn't warn us then you people would complain about that. These people are men & women who do their best but a hurricane can change course in seconds. One moment it's coming & 24 hrs later it has changed course. It's people like you who if lost everything including loved ones because you that it was a joke that I wouldn't give a damn about u suffering.

[@christianjohnson8036]

its crazy how the first tropical storm of that season became a category 5

[@ronaldshank7589]

This little Hurricane went against all the odds...and did so at just the right time of year. Initially, they thought that Andrew was a Cat 4 Hurricane. Not so! This little powerhouse had, indeed, strengthened to a Cat 5, and tore through Florida like a friggin' Buzzsaw! When it was all said & done, Florida had been ripped up so badly, that it took quite awhile for things to get back to normal!

[@npcdd1652]

Christian Johnson my theory is that a slow start to hurricane season means stronger storms.

[@nicholaspark4165]

1980 had something similar happen. Allen

[@johnnyfrancois9491]

Yes it did Andrew blew up so fast i was only 8 when it came destroyed Miami

[@ILoveOldTWC]

Andrew was not upgraded to a Category 5 until 10 years later in August 2002, near the 10-year anniversary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaqtgISkrLJkjac

[@drivecfl]

Shows how much modeling for tracks have improved. By that point where the storm is today. The models would more than likely be tightly clustered.

[@altfactor]

Bryan Norcross became a national figure for his forecasts of Hurricane Andrew. Some of his reports were nationally broadcast, and being in Boston, Norcross reminded me of a young Don Kent (perhaps the best meteorologist in Boston TV history), because Norcross is, like Kent was, informative without hype.

[@jcraigb]

John Hope was the best he was like your grandpa he made you understand what was going to happen and was stern but calm when he stated the severity of the storm

[@suzannewillis817]

The weather channel has never been the same without him.now all they have is storm stories and that other stuff,the channel is supposed to be called the weather channel not the soap opera channel.no wounder why it's messed up.

[@cherryberry2000]

I can still remember Andrew as it happen yesterday. We lost everything. I was 10 when that happen. And I remember coming home to nothing. Everytime a hurricane warning is set for south florida i remember

[@suzannewillis817]

We got hit by Florence last year and are still waiting to get our house repaired. Going through experience like this is no fun.it effects all people.

[@gcrebel2008]

Way back when The Weather Channel had actuall meterologists and not actors and reality shows.

[@georgiasmith4308]

I like stormmaster G, he's a pro. Jim Cantore leaves me cold and unimpressed, we need the weather NOT the drama. And whatever became of Justin and Simon the two guys of storm riders

[@suzannewillis817]

Isn't that the truth.

[@nicoleangel4383]

Weather guy holding all those papers in his hand. Lol... that's how they got their data back then. Through fax I guess..

[@jamesmaupin1429]

i think this badass reporter was scared at first but after im sure he took some shots and smoked a joint, he returned to job and handled it like a G.

[@chrispap4957]

After pooping his pants, he regained his composure, well done...

[@eventvisionsinc]

james maupin you are probably right can’t stop laughing 😂

[@LenaAndreia]

I was living near the coast in southeastern Central FL at the time, and I remember my parents taking this storm VERY seriously. I'd never seen them bother to prepare the house (right down to my mom scrubbing the bathtub so she could fill it up with water). I was eight. I remember standing in the bathroom watching her work. It was the first time in my young life that I contemplated what it would be like to lose a house. When I saw what happened down south, I didn't sleep for days.

[@calvinrivera49]

Water to drink or wash with?

[@daverunner3397]

Everytime i hear "superstorm sandy" i laugh a little

[@ILoveOldTWC]

By this time, Andrew was undergoing a period of rapid intensification. A small hurricane but a ferocious one! Channel 10 was definitely not on the same page with Bryan Norcross and channel 4, neither was channel 7.

[@StoneCold75]

LOL when B Norcross says Im trying to remember when we had a "little" storm like this come ashore... Thanks for these vids moviemaggg..this stuff is gold to me and what happened back in Andrew

[@jtp2007]

Its pretty telling how sometimes some METS just dont get it. Early on in this video; Dr Bob Sheets stated emphatically that he did not see any reason for the deviation of the due west track, no indications from forecasts showed the steering breaking down in a way to turn the storm away. The guy on channel 10 then says a movement due west is highly unlikely over the next 2 days, despite what Bob Sheets had said earlier in the day

[@DarkWatch87]

Jesus. It gets scarier by the end. lol I don't remember if I was watching the weather channel or if I was watching cartoons when this was happening. (I used to watch the weather channel everyday when I was a kid. 'Cause thunderstorms are common in Miami.)

[@echoedinnocence]

you're not alone. I watched weather channel everyday when I was a kid too...and I lived in Florida too.(South beach, Tampa and Deltona) :)

[@RandomlyRantful]

Why does 1992 news look like it’s from 1972?

[@nuckymancini7013]

Because everything was 100x better back then

[@jamesroberts2115]

I rode this one out south of New Orleans and we had some moderate winds and a little rain from it, but the thing I was so impressed with was looking to the southwest at noon as it passed and seeing a sky so dark it was a deep, deep purple and very dangerous looking.

[@Knightoftheorient]

Omg look at the computers in the hurricane centre, old school dinosaurs lol :)

[@coopersweeney1336]

If they mean Bob of 1991, it was a big storm, mainly because of its vertical length.

[@Monrocsol]

Cleo was my first hurricane in Miami, and I fell in love with them.

[@atworkstation]

I live in Louisiana, this storm would hit our coast line.

[@ozamatazbuckshank.]

How could the meteorologist at Channel 10 have gotten it so wrong? I know he was looking at the same data as everyone else, so what made him think the storm wasn't likely to keep heading west? Bob Sheets himself said that's what the models were indicating.

[@Ibhenriksen]

The thing that made Andrew so hazardous was that it was sneaky af. And it wasn't large at all, in fact rather small in size, misleading but very concentrated surrounding the eye and made a direct hit to Dade County Miami FL

[@moviemagg]

It did not make a direct hit on Miami. It made a direct hit on Homestead/Florida City and Cutler Ridge.

[@traemaxwell]

Because after the hurricanes that come off the west coast of mexico move to the west they mostly end up going into cooler waters and die out, and they do name them. There are times when they would loop back to the coast, but very infrequently.

[@AroundSun]

Why is he neglecting the pacific hurricane? How come the weather channel never talks about them, and they are never named??

[@calvinrivera49]

S. Florida has 10000% more people per square mile directly effected by 140mph+winds and deadly surge then the Pacific storm

[@MauofMiami]

They did talk about the the hurricane in the Pacific, the person made the recording that edited it out cause the video was about ANDREW... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DNSKansas]

Yeah, so much for that curve back to the north at 6:32. Good call.

[@calvinrivera49]

He wanted to make it to his 5pm meeting with a friend named candy at the motel

[@MrKing8050]

still amazes how it went from 1 to a 5 in just days, but that happens when a Hurricane is running over the ocean and not land

[@nodakliberalhawk]

I believe the Gulf Stream along the eastern coast of Florida pushed it from 145mph to 165mph.

[@Icybubba]

Matthew beat it though took one day to go from Cat 1 to 5

[@moviemagg]

And the Great Laborday Hurricane of 1935 did it in less then 24 hours. Went from a Tropical Storm to the most intense Cat.-5 on record.

[@Icybubba]

moviemagg wow

[@Ryu_hayabusa561]

And now we have Irma

[@moviemagg]

Your right! That was Miami TV station channel -10 (ABC) Weatherman Don Noe who made that stupid comment. He was the only South Florida Weatherman to predict that Andrew would re-curve to the North and miss Florida. Don has since retired from Television News but when he did work at Channel-10 I met him a couple of times and got the impression that he hated what he did for a living and hated even talking about any Hurricane hitting Florida because then he'd have to work overtime. A real Jack-Ass!

[@benhub3932]

moviemagg you are so fucking right because I remember my mom says no don't believe him so we kept our house boaded and my mom says hurricane was going to hit Homestead. I was in Homestead when Andrew hit us I have the mark to provide it

[@queenroyaltyrules55]

Well when I met him twice he was a gentleman and a very sweet guy. Sorry your experience was bad but that's your experience. He goes in the books as one of the greatest weathermen.

[@suzannewillis817]

This is when the weather channel was more on top of the ball...now all they want to show is those dull shows on every hour that no one watches.they sure could use John hope now on the weather channel now more than ever.

[@robminmonaca]

Suzanne Willis and hype every storm like it’s the storm of the century or climate change agenda stuff. Don’t forget they are owned now by NBCUniversal and have to push their left wing political adgenda.

[@suzannewillis817]

@@robminmonaca yeah that is true,and also lose a lot of respect in the process. And losing credibility doesn't help them that much either.

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Andrew spoke in class today ... Can we please stop naming storms

[@artistnyc123]

1st named Hurricanes pop up now in May. Crazy. Irma was a cat 5 with Miami in the bullseye but skirted South and Cuba disrupted it. It dwarfed Andrew.

[@moviemagg]

You are correct. If Irma did not drop south and weaken over the north Cuban coast, the southeast coast of Florida would have had one hell of a hit.

[@MattMntk]

When the Weather Channel didn't suck..I remember it well.

[@moviemagg]

You are so right.

WE ALL COULD HAVE BEEN MILLIONAIRES BACK THEN WHEN THEY SHOWED THE BIG SCREEN TVS

Will we now know it didn't recurve north it curved south and hit homestead

[@yorick22]

And now Dorian is taking an almost exact track as Andrew..

[@CocoTaveras8975]

CaramelTV Dorian was worse, much much worse. Their in completely different universes in terms of strength and intensity. Like a meteorologist said and I roughly quote, "If there was a cat6 Dorian would be seriously considered as it".

[@Sihkster]

Dunno why this popped in my feed

[@extremedrivr]

So sad about Andrew. However I had to do a double take and say WOW to Bryan Norcross wwwaaayyy back before he joined the Weather Channel.

[@patrickperry8951]

I was down there during it

[@bpjp01]

wow, look at the old fashion phones at 7:56

[@Eiuol81853]

I don't think there is another storm to make US landfall that was known more for its wind damage than storm surge. Charley perhaps?

[@moviemagg]

+gj804 Your wrong! Hurricane Camile in Aug.1969 along the Gulf Coast had sustained winds of 190-MPH and the Great LaborDay Hurricane of Sept.1935 in the middle Florida Keys had sustained winds of 185-MPH. Both of these storms produced wind gusts just over 200-MPH as well. Hurricane Charley was a potent little storm when it made landfall on the SW coast of Florida but was no where near the intensity of the two I just spoke of.

[@Icybubba]

Wilma?

[@Eiuol81853]

moviemagg Yes, Camille was a Cat 5 when it made landfall, but it is infamous known for having caused all that death and destruction in the delta because of its then-record storm surge, just like Katrina.

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

moviemagg Where are you getting your false info from? Andrew was the higest sustained (190mph) AND gusts (270mph) EVER! Irma is now tied for 2nd @ 186 mph sustained and growing!

[@DirtyDan1]

Jeremy R Hansen 270? Wrong. 190? Andrew hit florida with sustained winds of 140 mph with 177 mph gusts

is not va woie? ????????

[@cmp2nite2]

while sandy wasnt as scary as other storms it was devastating damage wise to the jersey shore and some surrounding areas. so it was a ridiculously expensive storm and theyre STILL rebuilding that area. But yeah it wasnt a strong storm but stilll fucked up the jersey shore. Woulda been scary if u stayed on the shore for whatever reason. but honestly jersey is trash anyways

[@lordmasterization]

A weak hurricane here in FL...would be a walk in the park.

[@FSUOSU25]

Jersey is not trash. Sorry to bust your bubble. Now reply back.

[@patrickperry8951]

It was 3 storms in one. That's why Sandy was so expensive

[@shawnyoung261]

Charley came ashore at140 145. Suprised the shit out of many sw floridians who i would assume were not born floridians. When you have a 140 mph storm 40 miles off the coast you better be ready to deal with in in 1 or 2 hours. It was supposed to go up to tamppaand curve ne.. instead it took a ne turn and was onshore in less than two hours. In daytona beach. I was watching because you can never tell what these storms will do.my mother was in chicago i called her and told her that it looks like it will come right up the I 4 corridor. She said i was worring too much. I went to her house took all things out of florida room . Into living room which has 8 sliding glass doors. She live in a subdivision called tomoka Oaks. Had 8 60 to 70 foot trees surrounding house no safe place in that house . Went to a friends house in port orange 10 miles south. Came ashore noon traveled about 250 miles over land.got to daytona about 9 eye about midnight. Gust only about 100 105. But a steady 80 85 mph winds. It pruned alot of trees. Power was out for 3 10 days. That was a glancing blow.. when a storm goes from below 1 to a three in 36 hrs it is only going to get stonger. The water gets warmer the closer you get to land. People were lucky that Andrew was not that big and it moved fast
