  Hurricane Milton brought me here. I’m showing my kids how dangerous these storms can be. We’re actually leaving Tampa and heading to Homestead in the morning. Stay safe everyone !!!

  I survived Andrew in a kitchen cabinet in kendall. I been through many hurricanes as a Florida native but the sounds of Andrew will never leave my head for as long as i live even 30 years later period. As an andrew survivor and hurricane vet I can assure you Andrew was in a league of its own!!!

  i was 15 when this hit. I was in kendall. I will be forever tramatized but facinated with it at the same time. words can never explaine what i witnessed. The sound was like a million screaming wolves. It was a screaming rage sound that i have never heard in any other hurricane!!! Andrew was a monster!!! A demon!!! It was not a normal hurricane!!!

  Anytime there’s a hurricane older Floridians mention Andrew and a shiver goes down their spine

  I love the pre storm interviews about people not thinking it was not going to be bad. I wish they interviewed the same people after the storm. See what they had to say.

  There is a flock of little green parrots that now lives a few hundres miles north of Miami near my mother's house, where they went after escaping from the zoo during Andrew.

  I almost died because of Hurricane Andrew. I send a special thank you for those who saved my life.

  A disaster like this truly brings out the very worst of some people...and in some, the very best.

  I always find it funny how the weather channels are like, “Please stay indoors” then they have one of their employees standing outside talking about the storm

  I was born in 1996. &nbsp;<br>For my entire life up till 2005, I never heard or remember hearing any other hurricane mentioned other than Andrew up until Katrina happened.

  I&apos;ve been in Florida for 40 years. &nbsp;New residents particularly need to watch this.

  I lost everything in Andrew and remember it well. I have PTSD from it. I was in the worst part...Between Cutler Ridge and Homestead. No human or animal should ever go through this. The video does not do it justice. God Bless
