If you were in South Florida on August 24, 1992 this is a moment in time that you will never forget. Back then you were not given as much of a warning that a Hurricane was approaching, it was mere days. Today we know that Erika is out there and could be here next week.
At a fuel company, calls preceding a Hurricane are nonstop with customers wanting fuel for their emergency generators and everything else. There was no such thing as "Hurricane Preparedness" in 1992. Lank Oil handled the calls the best they could and were back on the road as soon as possible after the storm.
Hurricane Andrew was, at the time of its occurrence in August 1992, the costliest hurricane in United States history.
Date: August 16, 1992 - August 28, 1992
