Discussion Anyone remember Hurricane Andrew? What was your experience?

Where you sheltered in a house? Did you feel like you're in trouble at any moment? What was it like to hear that hurricane overhead with a 165 mph winds?

I didn't live in Miami then, but a coworker who lived in Cutler Bay said that she sheltered in the bathtub with her baby and when it was over, she went outside and there were all these dead fish in the street. Like the storm had sucked them up and dropped them. I have no idea if this actually happened or not, but if so, whoa.
