On the morning of August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew struck south Florida. The eye passed over Elliot Key located on the western end of Biscayne Bay. Fowey Rocks bouy, located east of Elliot Key, reported northerly winds sustained at 141 mph (123 knots) with a peak gust of 169 mph (147 knots) at 4:00 am as the eye wall passed. Sea level pressure was 967 mb. Data transmission ceased after that time. The height of the wind instrument was 143 feet (43 meters) above sea level.
Around 4:30am, the eye of Hurricane Andrew was centered over Biscayne Bay. High storm surges occurred from near Turkey Point to as far north as Miami. Seawater inundated numerous homes along the coast. Key Biscayne was submerged during the storm. The highest storm surge was over 16 feet NGVD in Derring and Saga Bays. Many boats moored at Black Point and Coconut Grove marinas were damaged or destroyed.
Landfall of the eye occurred around 5:00am just east of Homestead Air Force Base. The eye diameter was approximately 15 miles across and extended from the Cutler Ridge area to Florida City. The National Hurricane Center, located in Coral Gables, Florida, was on the northern edge of the eye wall. They reported a maximum sustained wind of 138 mph (120 knots) with a peak gust of 164 mph (143 knots) at 4:50am before the wind instrument was destroyed. The height of the wind equipment was approximately 200 feet above ground level.
Miami International Airport reported a maximum sustained wind of 86 mph (75 knots) with a peak gust of 115mph (100 knots) from the east around 5:50 am. The height of the wind equipment was approximately 33 feet (10 meters) above the ground.
It took about three hours for Hurricane Andrew to traverse southern Florida. Towns of Homestead, Naranja, Leisure City, Goulds, Princeton, Cutler Ridge, and Florida City sustained heavy damage to buildings. Moderate building damage occurred in the communities of Perrine, Howard, and Kendall. Minor damage to buildlings occurred north of 104th Street.
By 8:00 am, the eye of Andrew was located over Big Lostman's Bay on the west coast of Florida in Everglades National Park. The storm had weakened to category 3 status, and the barometric pressure had risen to 29.91 in./951mb.
When Hurricane Andrew entered the Gulf of Mexico, it re-intensified to category 4 status. However, the storm never recovered its pre-Florida landfall intensity. The lowest barometric pressure recorded while the storm was over the Gulf of Mexico was 27.52/936mb at 4:00pm on August 25, 1992. Approximately two hours later, Hurricane Andrew slowed and started to curve northwestward towards the south-central Louisiana coast. Central barometric pressures continued to rise, and Hurricane Andrew gradually lost strength. The storm was downgraded to category 3 status prior to landfall on the Louisiana coast.
As Hurricane Andrew approached Louisiana, an isolated storm on one of Andrew's raindbands spawned a tornado that traveled west-northwestward through Laplace, Louisiana. The tornado damage path was 9 miles long and about 150 yards wide. The tornado was rated F3 on the Fujita damage scale. Damage to homes was more severe in the tornado than hurricane-caused damage to similarly constructed homes in Louisiana. The tornado lasted ten minutes beginning around 8:10pm.
2 People were Killed, 32 Injured and 60 families left Homeless
The eye of Hurricane Andrew skirted the coast along Vermillion Bay for several hours until curving northward and coming ashore near Burns Point, Louisiana around 3 am on August 26, 1992. Slow forward movement of the storm and close proximity of the eye wall over marshland caused the hurricane to weaken; central pressures rose and the hurricane was downgraded to category 2 status just after landfall. Rising pressures in the core of the storm led to lower wind speeds and storm surges inland in comparison to to when the storm struck Florida. Consequently, the damage-causing potential of the storm was less in Louisiana than in Florida. The eye of Hurricane Andrew eventually passed over Franklin, Louisiana just after sunrise. Towns of Morgan City, Berwick, and Patterson were located east of the eye and sustained the most severe wind damage. Only minor damage occurred in towns of Lafeyette, Baton Rouge, and Houma.
The Morgan City Power Plant reported a maximum sustained wind of 92mph (80 knots) with peak gust of 108 mph (94 knots) at 3:05 am from the south. The height of the wind equipment was approximately 50 feet above the ground. The highest reported storm surge was 9 feet NGVD at the Marine Conservatory at Cocodrie, Louisiana.
Andrew continued northeastward and was downgraded to a tropical storm during the afternoon on August 26, 1992 when the center of circulation was between Baton Rouge and Lafayette.
Divine Entity, I miss John Hope. I can see him from another dimension YELLING at the top of his lungs at Dr Knapp at TWC.
I respect your rights, please respect mine. I was not trying to upset anyone. I call the Divine Entity God & Another Dimension Heaven. I have an academic mind, and I also believe in a higher power and another dimension. Thanks!!
OMG, not again!!
oh my
LMAO!! What a difference Father time/ 18 years can make for some, I'll be 46 in Nov and some times can't recognize myself in pictures 20 years ago.
probably just the TW passing by.
yup
Yes, we're s'posed to use Common Era, or Before Common Era, CE or BCE, with Common Era year one corresponding to AD year one, both using the Gregorian Calendar. But let's take this even farther, shall we? The Gregorian Calendar isn't used by everyone the world over, the Jewish Calendar is in year 4000 and something, and the Chinese calendar farther than that, the Buddist calendar, and then the Greek Orthodox use something different as well.
Here's my idea. We should have year 1 as 1945-1946, the year the first atomic bomb was dropped. We could call it AB, for after bomb, and BB for before bomb. Then we could call the days of the week, Sunao, Manuel, Tenisha, Wadi, Tung, Fred and Sezja. TGIF would still apply, and we wouldn't be offending anyone, just everyone. Works for me.

Has a certain ring to it, don't cha think?
#2 I was wondering about that stormpetrol on my Wx Station the storm alarm went off and pressure are droping rapidly
#3 our african AOI/Wave is gaining convection
klataburada- won't we hafta change the G in TGI-fred too?
MH09- waiting...don't make me type your full name again! :)
I got to Hialeah when the wind was still blowing, 3am, streetlights hanging everywhere. Drove down from Jax to rescue father-in-law from a hospital- he'd just had surgery.
I can tell more later if anyone's interested. Back to the video for now.
Looks naked to me:
For your consideration, Golly, Gandar, Gandalf, Gosh, Galileo, Geronimo, Gilligan, Godzilla, Goober, and my personal favorite, Groucho. Of course, we could still use God, as we're not saying which one we're referring to exactly.
