[Sometimes A River]

Andrew was definitely a Cat 5. At the time they said Cat 4, but they changed it afterwards.

I lived near the Nat'l Hurricane Center, which is in Coral Gables, which was about 15 miles north of the eye wall and they recorded gusts up to 184.

The scene was surreal after he blew through.

No kidding, it was like a 50-60 mile radius tornado. There was a line straight through the Everglades that marked this phenomenal storm. Unbelievable photos. Funny how they downplayed everything at the time. Imagine if Andrew had hit a predominant black neighborhood... Had to say it! I so sick of this BS regarding these NATURAL DISASTERS!

Thanks for the ping!
