Description:

In mid-August 1992, television and radio audiences were alerted to a potentially damaging hurricane that had formed in the Atlantic Ocean. On August 24, this hurricane struck the eastern coast of Florida, passed over the Florida peninsula, entered the Gulf of Mexico, and moved north- westerly until it slammed into the Louisiana coast on August 26. Hurricane Andrew caused over $27 billion worth of damage in Florida and Louisiana. It was not only the costliest storm to strike the U.S. mainland but it was also one of the most intense. This publication describes how hurricanes form and the immediate impact Andrew had on the coast. It also describes ongoing ecological studies of the short- and long- term effects on coastal barrier islands, wetlands, and swamps and bottomland hardwood forests in Louisiana and their wildlife.
