Hurricane Andrew caused the tragic loss of 26 lives in 1992. Due to the sensitivity and privacy concerns surrounding individual information, the names of those individuals are not typically disclosed in public reports. However, their memory and the impact of their loss are remembered in the aftermath of the devastating hurricane.
The storm most well known as hurricane Floyd never hit Florida and the states was not significantly affected. The storm instead made landfall in North Carolina. There was also a Hurricane Floyd that affected The Florida Keys in 1987 but did not result in much heavy damage.
well it all depends on the type of storm and how bad it is i cant really answer that ..maybe if you gave a bit more detail ..sorry
The Allies had over 10,000 dead and wounded on D-Day. Exact amount who were injured as opposed to died is very difficult to find.
Hurricane Andrew hit Florida on August 24, 1992 and Louisiana on August 26.
Yes, they were warned too well, you might say. Almost the entire East Coast was under a hurricane warning at some point because Floyd was very difficult to predict exactly were it would recurve to the north. If it recurved any later, it would have struck different parts of the East Coast. As it happened, it just hit eastern NC and was weaker than expected. So people knew well out in advance that this storm was coming, but the forecast was not particularly good (nor easy, of course) for its exact track and intensity.
About 40.7 billion dollars, in 2009 value. It was the second costliest in US history.

Hurricane Andrew was a category 5 hurricane when it passed over the Bahamas and Florida. That's where Hurricane Andrew was at it's peak intensity. It was downgraded to a category 3 after Florida then struck Louisiana as a category 3.
Hurricanes are given names from a predetermined list in alphabetical order. When a new tropical storm forms it gets the next name on the list. Hurricane Andrew was the first tropical storm of the 1992 Atlantic Hurricane Season, so it was given the first name on the list.
Hurricane Andrew had several longitudes and latitudes; I am assuming you are wanting to know the longitude and latitude where it hit. Andrew struck 25.5N 80.3W, which is the Homestead Air Force Base. For more information on Andrew, see the link below.
When a hurricane approaches land, tremendous damage can occur in the built environment. The amount of damage depends both on the intensity of the storm and what it hits. A combination of winds, storm surges, and rain cause great damage to buildings, power lines, roads, and automobiles.
It destroys everything in it's path, even people. It can cause flash floods. Brings about lots of debris, dirty waters and it also brings a hand-full of sickness. The most destructive and deadly part of a hurricane is the storm surge which is a dome of ocean water that is created by strong winds and when it hits it floods the land.
5 thousand people were left homeless after the hurricane.
It came across the keys in Florida after going across the Caribbean Islands.
Slightly after landfall, and 25 minutes after its first Florida landfall Andrew hit near Homestead with winds of 150mph. This was on August 24, 1992 in the morning.
