On August 27, 2022, the City of Homestead in conjunction with the Cybrarium and Town Hall Museum will host a commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of Hurricane Andrew. The Category 5 hurricane had profound effects on Homestead, the Air Force Base, and the people of southern Miami-Dade County.
AOML’s Hurricane Research Division will participate in the commemoration, hosting a table where scientists will be available to chat about researching tropical cyclones. We also plan on giving a talk on the advances in hurricane science that have happened over the last 30 years.
For those unable to attend, here is a link to the talk.
The event took place as planned. The Cybrarium experienced over three times their usual Saturday attendance and the panel discussion was a big hit with everyone. Here are some photos from the event:
