Andrew hit Miami Beach dead on. The damage to the waterfront high rises was minimal. I highly doubt the Mexican building standards are similar.
I am sick of the Weather Channel. It is 24/7 climate change propaganda. The maps used to be mostly green and yellow. Now they are all yellow, red and blue even though the depicted temperatures are in the 30s and 40s.
They harp on the extensive damage of a Mexican hurricane not being restored less than a month after the storm hit. (How long does it take to build a couple hundred miles of rail system in California? How long did it take to build where the World Trade Center once stood?)
Every stream that overflows in Bangladesh gets prime space on their website home page. Every multi-car accident spells the end of civilization.
I long for the days of Jeanetta Jones, Cheryl Lemke, Jill Brown, Marney Stanier and even Mark Mancuso.
At least there’s mostly commercials now and less time to proselytize.

Yep...I don’t watch the TV weather channels. Takes up too much time with the propaganda, fluff and sensationalism waiting for useful info. I just try to get as much data as possible from NOAA radio, the National Hurricane Center’s feed/website and Weather Underground.
After seeing the Acapulco high-rise drone footage, I did consider the probably lower Mexican building standards. Still don’t want to ever deal with a head-on CAT 5 in SC.
Andrew diddn’t hit Miami Beach, it hit Cutler Bay, which is south of the high rises you mentioned. It leveled Cutler Bay, even flattening cinder block homes and throwing vehicles.
