Andrew was also forecast to make a last minute though to the north. It never happened and MANY were caught unprepared.
Eff on the side of caution

If Andrew had hit 20 miles to the north of where it did, Miami would have been wiped out.
Good point. Oh boy, there were a lot of people who woke up with a start when Hurricane Andrew knocked them out of their beds and into the fields.
For rode it out in two story townhouse. Water was 4’deep on second floor, roof and windows blown out. You can stop see the fright in her eyes when she tells the stories.
Again, those in broward are.NOT in the clear yet at all.
We all knew it was a bad omen when Cantore was in Stuart (Martin County FL) yesterday morning.
Wow.

Waiting for that northern jog! The sooner, the better!
Try that again...
Xgf rode Andrew out in two story townhouse, about two miles from the ocean. Water was 4’deep on SECOND floor, roof and windows blown out. You can still see the fright in her eyes when she tells the stories.
Again, those in broward are.NOT in the clear yet at all.
There is NO GUARANTEE this will turn north. NONE. be wise Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Prayers up
Our thoughts are with you til it’s over.
Morgerman’s last tweet:
11:40 am. Pounding. CRASHING. Boards prying off windows. We’re moving children to a safe space, wrapping them in blankets. 969 mg. #DORIAN
I remember
Andrew made a bee line to Homestead
And this is on another Labor Day hurricane. Check out the track for the one in '35....
I think we might just wanna consider jettisoning the dang holiday.
It’s surreal. All of it.
Sobering.
My stepfather-in-law lives on the barrier island ...just up from Sebastian Inlet. Often he rides it out. (*eye roll*. But he’s 85 and couldn’t give a sh*t). But THIS time he headed to friends in Tarpon Springs.
