Jesus!
#HurricaneMelissa has strengthened into a Category 5 storm heading to #Jamaica,
with winds 160 to 195 miles per hour.
This level of destruction is comparable to #HurricaneAndrew in #Florida, 1992.
If you can, please evacuate! 🤷♀️
it’s not safe to stay in its path.

Hurricane Andrew. 1992. 33 years ago today. What was left of my childhood home. #HurricaneAndrew
#DestructionAtDawn
32 years since infamous Cat 5 #HurricaneAndrew hit south of Miami in Homestead FL. I had only been at my new role as a broadcast meteorologist for a year, following my time at the National Weather Service. It was the strongest & most devastating hurricane on record to hit southern FL.
This visible satellite imagery of #HurricaneAndrew from @NWSMiami is so fascinating. Because the images are only available from sunrise to sunset, it really makes Andrew look like a thief in the night, doing its damage when no one can see.
In keeping with the #NWAS22 theme of convergence, even 30 years after the devastation of #HurricaneAndrew, the weather enterprise is continuing to work collaboratively across all sectors to develop new technologies and new ways to improve our forecasts and warnings.
#HurricaneAndrew made landfall in South Florida 30 years ago today. Back then, the National #Lightning Detection Network only detected cloud-to-ground lightning flashes, but numerous flashes were detected within the rain bands and eyewall of Andrew as approached #FLwx.
This is the final frame from the WSR-57 radar atop Gables One Tower, then the home of @NHC_Atlantic. It was taken this moment 30 years ago. The radar was blown off the roof. At around the same time, #HurricaneAndrew was making landfall on Elliot Key with wind speeds of 165 mph.
30 years ago this afternoon, South Floridians were digesting @BMaxMayfield’s 5 PM #HurricaneAndrew advisory. The “EXTREMELY DANGEROUS” storm was 240 miles west of Miami and packed 150 MPH winds as it lashed the Bahamas. The short time to prepare was already drawing to a close.
30 years ago this morning, the @NHC_Atlantic placed South Florida under a Hurricane Warning. Forecaster Hal Gerrish wrote that South Florida could expect an early morning landfall of #HurricaneAndrew the next day with tides, “8 TO 12 FEET ABOVE NORMAL.”
Remember what #HurricaneAndrew did to Florida in August 1992? http://ln.is/www.miamiherald.com/ZDHqj
