Hurricane Andrew was the third most powerful Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States during the 20th century, after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and Hurricane Camille in 1969. Andrew caused 65 deaths along its path.[1]

Andrew was the first named storm and only major hurricane of the otherwise inactive 1992 Atlantic hurricane season. During Andrew's duration it struck the northwestern Bahamas, southern Florida at Homestead (south of Miami), and southwest Louisiana around Morgan City in August.[2] Andrew caused $26.5 billion in damage ($41.1 billion 2010 USD), with most of that damage cost in south Florida; however, other sources estimated the total cost between $27 billion to $34 billion. Its central pressure ranks as fourth-lowest in U.S. landfall records and Andrew was the costliest Atlantic hurricane in U.S. history until surpassed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It was one of two intense hurricanes to strike the United States that year; Hurricane Iniki in the Central Pacific struck Hawaii and the Hawaiian Islands a few weeks later as a Category 4 hurricane.

Florida had an increase of storm activity in the 2009 Hurricane Season. Still the question concerning Tropical Storms and Hurricanes is not if, but when? As we cross our fingers for 2010
