Hurricane Andrew

As we all know, hurricanes are fickle. Andrew is a compact system. A slightly larger system or a few nautical miles of land system is disastrous for the vulnerable areas where the population density in the north is high and commercialization is progressing. This area includes downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay and Fort Lauderdale. Andrew also left the very vulnerable New Orleans area and was relatively safe. In about four hours Andrew crossed the southernmost point of the Florida peninsula and crossed the southernmost point of the Florida peninsula.

On August 23, Hurricane Andrew reached a wind speed of 150 mph. A few hours later, as a level 4 hurricane, Andrew 's pressure dropped and the wind speed was about 175 miles per hour. This was when Hurricane Andrew arrived in southern Florida on 24 August. Andrew's anger started at 4:30 AM. Andrew's strength and scale sounded in every direction. Various things flying in the air, flying roof, car thrown like a toy. The boat went from the water to the street. Overall confusion will be the best explanation of the latest situation. As the sun rises, the damage is obvious. At 11 am, Andrew works in South Florida the following morning. Andrew was about 30 miles away the way of destruction. Andrew is not over yet, back in the Atlantic Ocean, Andrew regained some of the power he lost while visiting South Florida and is now heading for Louisiana. Louisiana received the same confrontation as South Florida endured

For Hurricane Andrew, the loss of human life and property is well documented. However, the impact on the environment is not well known. In southern Florida, Hurricane Andrew completely removed the northernmost vegetation of Florida Keys. In the case of mangroves, deciduous trees and tree damage killed a large old forest along the coastline. In Louisiana, Dr. Shea Penland of LGS and his colleague reported that Andrew removed sand from 70% of Bali's island and left an exposed old coastal wetland. More than 80% of oyster reefs behind Barrier Island are covered with sediments of 0.3 - 0.9 m in thickness. Valuable sand dune habitat of 70 kilometers or more is an estuary that provides wetlands and coastal residents with protection from storms.

Brief description of the disaster: Complete destruction on 24 August 1992 in Florida was the final result of Hurricane Andrew. Hurricane started at a speed of 20 miles per hour in the Atlantic Ocean. This is nearly twice that of the original normal hurricane. Hurricane Andrew 's strength is so strong that the instrument can not measure the wind. The wind is said to have an approximation of up to 200 miles per hour. Andrew destroyed about 28,000 houses, damaged 100,000 homes, lost 250,000 homes, brought about 30 billion dollars, nearly 30 people died. Hurricane Andrew could not end destruction in Florida, and soon it went to Louisiana to give more damage. (Figure 1) ... Further display
