🌪️ Hurricane Andrew: Real People. Real Stories.
August 24, 1992 changed South Florida forever.
In this special video series, members of the Allied team who lived through Hurricane Andrew share their personal memories of the storm — what they remember, what they experienced, and how those days shaped their perspective on hurricanes, homes, and preparedness.
In this final episode, our President & Founder, John Micali, shares how surviving Hurricane Andrew inspired the founding of Allied in 1993. He reflects on rebuilding over 25 homes, how the disaster reshaped the Florida Building Code, and why “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
More than 30 years later, Andrew remains a powerful reminder that behind every storm are real people, real homes, and real stories.
We remember the past, learn from it, and use those lessons to help prepare for what comes next 🏠🌴
