Yes, Warren was with me during this chase. In 1992, Warren and I had already been friends for several years and his stock photo company had been representing my hurricane chase photography, from the the mid 1980's on. Up until '92 Warren had primarily done lightning photography and some tornado chases... Andrew was his first major hurricane intercept. It's Warren's voice you can hear at 12:47 in this clip saying "...there's glass, look out."

Yes, most of Warren's Andrew photos in his book were from the area immediately around the parking garage we were at. There were five of us in the garage, two veteran hurricane chasers... myself and Steve Wachholder, along with Warren and two friends of mine who wanted to have a chaser "experience".

The marina with the sailboats and yachts that you videotaped also looks very familiar to what I saw in Faidley's book "Storm Chaser."

Wait a minute... Weren't you with stormchaser warren faidley in that 7 story parking garage dubbed "Fort Andrew"? Because I seem to recognize most of the scenery of the video compared to the "When the Devil Screams" part of his book "Storm Chaser" in which he and at least 2 others rode out Andrew in the parking garage. Like for instance, someone shining a flashlight on the palm tree, and the big tree that "vanished" in a huge gust of wind.

Really? I currently live in Weston, FL.. and was living here when the hurricane struck. I have posted a vid of my Wilma experience.

Wilma was clocked at a 3 for the City I was living in at the time. Weston, Broward for some odd reason got the worst of the storm and it came from the West coast

Thats what im saying...they have no idea what it was like to drive up to a Homestead trailer park and having a little girl tell you her family was sucked out of the home. What was left of those trailers were wrapped around power polls like tin foil. Turkey Point was compromised and that any people and animals died from a radiation leak. Nexus has as article that I think you can only buy now that is probably the best account of how our country took care of us back in 92 |
