As Hurricane Danielle and Tropical Storm Frank pick up strength, it may have many people recalling a devastating event from 18 years ago.
On August 24th, 1992 Hurricane Andrew ripped across southern Florida. The storm made landfall with winds gusting to 265 km/h.
Over a million residents were forced to flee their homes, but for some it was too late. Andrew killed at least 40 people in its path from the Bahamas to Florida.
