A day like no other, Aug. 24, 1992, was the day Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc on southern Florida, leaving entire trailer parks flattened and rows of concrete power poles toppled. Tens of thousands of people were left homeless as the storm, known as the Big One, ripped through the area before moving west toward the Gulf and Louisiana.
