I'm still amazed & shocked how andrew just sat over the wetlands from morgan city, la to the atchafalaya basin swamp & just REMAINED PRETTY STRONG!! That's not normally supposed to happen!! Andrew hit in my junior year of high school, i'll never ever forget it in my hometown of saint gabriel, la!! IT'S ETCHED IN MY MEMORY!!
Very well done by the editors at WBRZ. But what stands out more than anything is, the reporters in the 1990s are vastly superior to what Baton Rouge has now.
Its certainly a bit of nostalgia seeing Ed Crumb, John Pastorek, Andrea Clessy, Pat Shingleton, Marvin McGraw, Margaret Lawhon and Bruce Katz.
You can say that again… actual reporting is dead if not dying because it’s not news or journalism that produces dollars anymore it’s clicks. And clicks aren’t content driven they’re headline driven. And since all anyone reads anymore is the headline…. 😢
@@rugbyguitargodRIP Fast Eddie Buggs. I miss him and his radio show.
Nice documentary. Appreciate the time spent to put this together.
Show more footage driving around Baton Rouge...
And the reports prior to landfall from the stores
Since Andrew hit south Dade so hard, i completely forgot Louisiana also took a hard hit. Andrew was an adventure and definitely a touchstone in my life.
We lived in Livingston Parish but sheltered at my grandparent's house in Hammond. Little did we know, Hammond would be where Andrew would drop the most rainfall in its entire lifespan. When we went back home after about a week, there were so many trees in ours and neighbors yards that had the tops twisted around and went about a month without electricity.
Would love to be able to buy this on dvd
At 18:27, the house at 711 Breaux Dr in Belle Pointe is still there. Still has the same shutters albeit they're not that baby blue color anymore.
Hurricane Andrew also spawned a deadly F3 tornado in Reserve, Louisiana
That's for the New Orleans station to cover, not Baton Rouge.
@DNSKansas The BR stations did a good job covering the fornado.
This was 6 days after my parents were married August 20th 1992 here in Canada
Well!! they had so much warning after what happened in Miami...
At what point--do you say---watch the news and get your stuff together,,,
It has happened before.
So what in Sam Hill?
Almost a tornado
