How does it compare to Andrew that hit South Florida?
Andrew was a very compact storm. This one is much larger.
I remember that Andrew was a five also. I don't think it was as big because while it leveled Homestead, I don't remember that caused that much destuction elsewhere. I think it was small and tight and powerful. I believe I heard the same about Camille. They thought in those days that small was safer but found out differently. I have some good hurricane videos I need to watch again to brush up on this stuff.
