Hurricane Andrew (The Storm)
On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew made landfall in South Florida and devastated our community. At the time, “The Big One,” as the storm came to be known, was the most destructive hurricane in U.S. history. 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of the storm, and HistoryMiami Museum recognized this through a major exhibition that chronicled the story of the hurricane from its formation to its legacy. Our guest curator was Meteorologist, Bryan Norcross.
