92 Andrew Survivor Country Walk, Thanks Publix for letting us go in your store and take whatever we wanted for 10 minutes. I only shop at Publix because of your love for us when we needed it most!
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.
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.
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…. 😢
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!!
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.
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?
Nice documentary. Appreciate the time spent to put this together.
Andrew was my first Hurricane 🌀 in South Louisiana I still remember the excitement 😅
@@OnyXPipes88 I was in Fordoche Louisiana for Andrew...the eye passed right over us! I remember no electricity or school for like 10 days after!

Its certainly a bit of nostalgia seeing Ed Crumb, John Pastorek, Andrea Clessy, Pat Shingleton, Marvin McGraw, Margaret Lawhon and Bruce Katz.

@@rugbyguitargodRIP Fast Eddie Buggs. I miss him and his radio show.
Show more footage driving around Baton Rouge...
And the reports prior to landfall from the stores
My sister was living in Miami during Andrew. She, her husband, son and 2 months later were left homeless for 6 months.
I remember this very well. I was only 15. It was a monster.

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.

The wrath of Mother Nature 🌬️ is really scary 😱
DID anyone notice the UFO at 2:28?
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.
I remember I was 5 lawd everybody was screaming our roof came off trees and power lines was down…so scary…337 are between new iberia and Morgan city
24:20 💯
This was 6 days after my parents were married August 20th 1992 here in Canada
Almost a tornado
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?
Hurricane 🌀 Milton will be 3x as worse as hurricane 🌀 Andrew 32 years ago
