I wonder how many people shit their pants about Dorian after watching this.
Never underestimate the power of Mother Nature
When I was younger, during the storm, I had the same concerns Naomi had… such a sad story… Growing up, the miami zoo was my fav place.. Can't wait to take my kids there…
We can’t forget that the buildings codes where different from the codes now, I’m sure that Andrew wouldn’t made more disaster now.
I survived Andrew in Kendall and this made me cry!
Waiting for Dorian to decide where he’s going…. and praying for everyone in his path.
I was 12 wen ANDREW HIT.. ILL NEVER FORGET DAT DAY.. HALF OF MIAMI WAS GONE ???❤️
So sad 🙁 made me cry a bit
Omg..?
Anyone else live in Miami and it just watching this waiting for Dorian
I pray people in the Bahamas evacuate and stay safe!!! Dorian will be an extremely destructive storm just as Andrew was in'92
Meee
What’s the weather like Ollie?
ITS GON RAIN
I'm in tears. I was a little girl and I remember. We will never forget. It was a very scary and impactful moment in time, especially engraved in the memories of those who survived.
It's also a shame this community probably needs another major disaster to bring us together. It's not what it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I dont wish any harm or chaotic circumstances but you never know what you have until it's gone. People down here……smh…..Love guys…..love is the answer. Help and love each other and come together
I sorry but this video deserves 1000 thumbs down very poorly done.
I am sobbing about Naomi
Too much in your face gabbing, gabbing. Where is the hurricane video?
I survived hurricane Andrew. How devistating it was especially for the people in homestead. People homeless in tents.
I lived in Miami during Andrew and will never forget the total devastation the next morning. I prayer for my friends still in Florida as Dorian approaches
Me too
I was five months old when Andrew occurred, my mom told me some stories that her and my dad were getting prepared two days before the storm and they comforted and protected me from the intensity of the storm. Now I hope me and my family are safe and sound for Dorian this year.
Who’s here after hurricane dorian destroyed the whole usa
We were in Cocoa Beach, Florida during Hurricane Andrew
Who is watching this while hurricane Dorian is coming to Florida?
Rest In Peace Naomi. ??❤️
Don’t y’all dare say anything about my last name lol
It’s sad but god is with us
My dad was in Miami when thus happened. He was terrified. Lucky he made it through in the end. No power for weeks. The house still stands (suprisingly). He and my (mom and) grandparents are safe. I am sorry for each person who died.
Mom thank you i survive in spirit. Many years
It's so weird. I was 6 in 1992 and visiting family in Florida. The locals told us everything was fine and this was a normal thing there, we're Greek and we're used to shore weather. My father who was a meteorologist was thrilled. I mean just kid-at-Christmas. And he told us and everyone who would listen that we needed to either bunker down or flee. Most locals actually listened to him. We left with them and still had serious after effects in the panhandle.
Why didn't I evacuate?
I got hit by irma and btw it was HORRIBLE We lost power for 14 days which really sucked, Our house was not destoryed just a couple of leafs on it, It was scary we where sweating badly, We had plenty of food and water though we got lucky the power was not out for a month, Stay safe. Edit: Also There Was Sand On The Road 😛
When hurricane Andrew came thru at about 5:00 am I called my folks who were in a condo behind dadeland mall. I was already at work in the repair/611 dept of BellSouth. I assured them I would be praying for them. The after pictures was like "a bomb went off" . I took thousands of calls by people wanting their phone service on, but had no home. The years were unforgettable. May Rip to all their losses.
Sadly, Andrew was one of those rare times, the weather forecaster actually underestimated the storm. So often cat 3&4 storms weaken in the last twelve hours, and all is okay. Andrew actually strengthened just before landfall. It was a small storm, very compact, but so well organized and powerful. Spawned dozens of huge tornadoes. Its a miracle only 15 people died.
Evacuation SUCKS. 9 times out of 10, it costs money, its a pain in the ass, and you return home to your house completely intact. BUT…..you just never know, and its not worth it to “weather” the storm.
AAANDDREW NCAME IN AN TOO OUT THE GRID
IRRMA WAS BEFIRE RECORDS WERE OFFICCIAL

I arrived in Miami a few days after Andrew and participated in some of the rebuilding on rooftops. I remember walking in Homestead with the feeling of being in a war zone.
Here’s a big “screw you” to anyone who wants a hurricane to hit ANYWHERE. Do you want another little girl dying?
As someone who lived through hurricane Andrew in homestead, all I can tell u is that there is almost a silent understanding of how tragic, an almost unreal feeling about how the whole experience was amongst us survivors…it's like we can't truly put into words that would adequately describe the whole experience from beginning to the recovery. Just watching videos on Andrew gets me all choked up. I am very thankful for all that came to help us get through these horrific event. My thoughts have always been with Naomi Browning and her family
its's a couple of shit
"And at that Moment, Florida knew it was Fucked".
12:45 I sure hope you're right on that. It's about to receive the ultimate test here in roughly 36 hours. I'm a former West Palm Beach resident so I know what you're about to go through. I'll pray for you.
The story about Naomi legitimately brought a tear to my eye
