ANDREW...1992
I’ve been through two big storms in recent years of living in south Florida.
Just
after about a year of America’s first LIVE all night call in
program...we started to get the warnings about Hurricane Andrew.
It was August 1992 and I was still commuting to the Tampa area weekly to do the show on about 100 stations!
When it became apparent that the storm was going to hit
the Miami area I instructed the producer to go to tape as I was headed back home to be with the family.
One of the few “perks” of storms was the tolls were dropped on the tollroads and turnpikes facing the storm.
After
Laurie and I had married I moved into her three bedroom townhouse in
the Jacaranda area of the city of Plantation which is a Ft. Lauderdale
suburb.
The
place was built well and we didn’t get any real serious damage as the
storm blasted into the southern reaches of Miami about 10 to 15 miles
south of us...causing wide spread devastation there...but just uprooting
trees on the golf courses near us. The power did go out and we got the
usual storm problems around the neighborhood...traffic lights out ..gas
stations either closed or out of fuel etc.
So...Hurricane Andrew was no problem in the area where we lived...but Hurricane Wilma was a “bitch”!
WILMA NEXT!
