20 YEARS AGO

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office was looking for homes for some of the more than 150 law enforcement families left homeless by Hurricane Andrew.

The two men aboard the commercial fishing boat Little Audrey escaped injury when a bolt of lightning blew the wheelhouse completely out of the boat.

20 YEARS AGO

Donations were pouring into South Dade to help with hurricane recovery. The Keys had donated more than $200,000 to the effort. Some of the items that came into the Florida Relief Center that were not shipped included several boxes of fur coats and snow boots.

Hurricane Andrew did not stop the 20th Annual Poker Run that arrived in Key West on Saturday.

The high school prank of throwing eggs was turning dangerous with the use of frozen eggs and some that had been injected with acid
