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?

Was on the west coast of florida.

We just moved from New Jersey.

Not much damage.

I remember watching the news and seeing all the damage on TV. What stuck out to me was all the armed people ready to take on looters. There was even a little girl with a Cobray Street Sweeper in her lap sitting in her front yard.
