We received several hundred responses when we called out to our audience for stories about Hurricane Andrew.  As we learned while doing the “Remembering Andrew” project, people who experienced Hurricane Andrew still have vivid memories they are eager to share.

Download and read a .PDF file of all of the responses we collected, with the help of the Miami Herald, via the Public Insight Network or PIN.  PIN allows us to make our audience a part of our reporting.

Today is the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew in South Florida. The culmination of our “Remembering Andrew” project is our one hour documentary special, hosted by Kenny Malone and Alicia Zuckerman, with production help from Sammy Mack, Trina Sargalski and the entire WLRN-Miami Herald News team.

It airs again at 4 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. on Sunday. It is also be available for download as a podcast on iTunes, and for download and sharing on SoundCloud.

Last week, WLRN premiered part of its “Remembering Andrew” radio documentary Thursday to an audience at Miami Science Museum.

Bryan Norcross was an invited guest.  Norcross, of course, became famous for his ongoing coverage of and guidance during the storm.

During a panel discussion following the airing of the first part of the special, Norcross talked about his memories of the people he talked to during the storm and the region’s struggles afterward.

Norcross also had a warning for the audience. He said many things have changed since that massive 1992 hurricane.  Back then people relied on their transistor radios and battery-powered TVs to get information, Norcross said.
