Fly Through Andrew's Eye

When Hurricane Andrew was threatening the Florida coast, only one television station was aboard the Hurricane Hunter plane when it flew through the eye of Andrew as it approached the Bahamas. The story reporting that flight was overshadowed by the Andrew disaster, so for the first time in 15 years, here's your chance to fly through the heart of Andrew.

The story was reported by Dave Game, then a reporter and now manager of CBS internet operations in South Florida. Ironically, he traveled twice through the eye in the plane, and then, once more on the ground when Andrew passed directly over his neighborhood and heavily damaged his home.

The meteorologist interviewed in the story was Bob Burpee, who later became director of the National Hurricane Center, and who passed on earlier this year.

Hurricane Andrew-South Florida This is my Hurricane Andrew chase video. The footage was taken during Andrew's landfall on the Southeast Florida coast, at Coconut Grove, south of Miami. Though Andrew was extremely small, moving very quickly and made landfall about 15 miles to the south, my location was right at the edge of the hurricane's northern eyewall. Unfortunately the entire peak of the storm was at night, however, using a portable spotlight, I was able to capture footage throughout the entire event
