Did meteorologists help save people's lives when hurricane Andrew hit Florida?

Asked by Wiki User

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.
