Synopsis
10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ANDREW'S DEVASTATION G02-067 8/21/02 00:06:38 And the winner is... Hurricane Andrew! After 10 years, it is still the most expensive, natural disaster in U.S. history. Small, but ferocious, it devastated the southern Florida peninsula and parts of Louisiana to an estimated $26.5 billion in damage. NASA had a strategic view tracking the hurricane as it traveled from water to land.
TAPE CONTENTS:
ITEM (1): GOES Satellite Captures a Tropical Monster - Hurricane Andrew was responsible for the death of 36 people and left up to ¼ million people temporarily homeless. The GOES-7 (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) captured the roving monster in its throes of destruction.
a) Hurricane Andrew on August 25, 1992.
b) Three views taken August 23, 24, and 25 as the hurricane moved East to West.
c) Full view of Earth, taken on August 25, as Andrew approached Louisiana.
Credit: NASA
ITEM (2): B-Roll of Hurricane Andrew and His Devastation (G00-038) - Hurricane Andrew, one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history, happened in a season with below-average activity, and 10 years later, there are some areas of south Florida that will never be the same.

ITEM (3): Three Satellites Keep a Watchful Eye (G00-038) - Keeping a watchful eye from space, satellites lend a helpful hand. They can verify storm locations, determine their intensity, track rainfall data, study ocean circulation, and give input to scientist's computer models that help forecast where hurricanes may go and how strong they may become. The National Hurricane Center (NHC), NASA, and other federal agencies work together to provide the public with the best information possible.
a) GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)
b) TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)
c) SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor)
