Swampy’s Historic Photos: 20 Years Ago Today Miamians saw what Hurricane Andrew had wrought.
It was August 26th, 1992 when folks in South Florida came out of a long night to see the destruction Hurricane Andrew had caused. Here are just a few photos. Below is a neighborhood after Andrew.
It was an upside down world in Miami for awhile. Notice that the upright van is perpendicular to the parking space.
The Tamiami Airport hangars were as indistinguishable as the residential communities except for the broken airplanes.

These photos are from, what I think, is the best collection of photos of the time of Hurricane Andrew – ‘Hurricane Andrew -The Big One’ by Bette Baumann.
