It will be the 20 year anniversary next year since Hurricane Andrew caused billions of dollars worth of damage in the US.
August 24,1992 (the same week Canterbury experienced a severe snowstorm) saw frightening images for one of the first times on TV.
Live storm coverage got underway on the Weather Channel and we’ve included a clip from this damaging weather event.

Hi SW,
There was one in July but not as severe.
August 24(not 14 as that was a typo) in the States was H.Andrew and 27/28 was the snowy event in Canty.
Cheers
WW
