That would be a hurricane Andrew - that puppy took out half a state.

Andrew had a very NARROW damage path - it was a small storm - through Florida south of Miami, hitting several dense subdivisions, but causing essentially no damage in Miami itself.

Andrew was actually a very compact hurricane and only affected a small portion of Florida. But the areas it did affect got hosed.

Andrew took out Homestead, FL. Significant damage was between and including Miami and the Keys (and, of course, Louisiana). The vast bulk of the state escaped significant damage from that storm, and the largest city in Florida was not impacted at all.

Andrew was like a big tornado, but with 160mph winds, not 205. And it took out half a county not half the state.

I was about 40 miles away, but Andrew produced a constant hum or buzz outside. All the other storms were much more gusty.
