Andrew - 15 Years Ago

Those of us who were in South Florida on August 24, 1992 will remember that day for the rest of our lives. That's the day Hurricane Andrew - a Category 5 monster - struck the Homestead/Cutler Ridge area.

Everyone has their "Andrew story". Mine is similar to many others: running around from house to house of co-workers who lost everything, trying to help out in any way I could. Seeing homes once inhabited by families with sofas lying upside down on the front lawn while blue sky was clearly seen from master bedroom.

Hank Tester of NBC6 wrote a particularly touching recollection of Andrew here. It sure brought back some memories.
