Fallen Miami Radar

2015-02-14 By Roger Edwards

Miami Radome Down after Hurricane Andrew

This was the rooftop of the building housing the National Hurricane Center at the time, in Coral Gables.  Here, a 142-kt (164-mph) gust was measured just north of Andrew’s eyewall, before the anemometer busted.  The Miami WSR-57 radome blew away, and the dish inside toppled onto the roof with a deep, reverberating thud heard and felt seven floors below in NHC.  Note the bent radio antennae also; they lean toward the W.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
