| - Hurricane Andrew was the first named storm, first hurricane, and first and only major hurricane of the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season. Andrew formed on August 16 in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean as a Cape Verde hurricane. Andrew moved west-northwest, northwest, and then westward, eventually reaching the Bahamas and south Florida. Andrew made landfall near Homestead, Florida on August 24 as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, becoming the first Atlantic storm to make landfall in the United States as a Category 5 since Hurricane Camille in 1969. Operationally, Andrew was not classified a Category 5, but in 2005, it was found that it had indeed become a Category 5 prior to striking the southern Florida coast. Andrew is one of only three Category 5's to strike the United States within the last century, the others being Hurricane Camille in 1969 and the 1935 Key West hurricane. After its south Florida landfall, Andrew emerged into the eastern Gulf of Mexico as a Category 4. Andrew then moved west-northwest across the central Gulf of Mexico, eventually curving northwestward and making landfall along the central Louisiana coast near Morgan City on August 26 as a Category 3. Andrew then moved northeastward and finally dissipated on August 28. At the time, Andrew was the costliest United States natural disaster in history, until it was surpassed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Andrew caused $26.5 billion (1992 USD) in damage as well as 65 deaths.
