Hurricane Andrew was one of the most destructive and expensive hurricanes to hit the United States. It raged from August 16 to August 28, 1992. This tropical cyclone affected the northwestern Bahamas, then southern Florida in the greater Miami area, doing much damage, crossing the Florida peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico before again making landfall in south-central Louisiana where it caused further damage. Andrew is currently the second-most expensive hurricane ever (behind Katrina of 2005).
