Hurricane Andrew, a Category 4 hurricane that caused $30 billion in damage in 1992, is the type of catastrophic storm that forecasters and insurers worry about.
The damage that Hurricane Andrew caused in 1992 when it ripped through Florida put some insurance companies out of business and caused others to cease writing certain policies.
In 1992 Hurricane Andrew slammed into the United States causing an estimated 22 billion dollars in damage.

After Hurricane Andrew, Typhoon Omar and Hurricane Iniki began their assaults in August of 1992, initial goals were revised and all campaigns shifted into high gear.
We have been lucky that we have not been hit with major hurricanes such as Hugo which hit Charleston and Andrew, which devastated a large area of lower Florida.
