But Hurricane forecasters cannot give that much of a warning with any accuracy. Ninety three hours before Andrew struck it was a tropical storm about 1,200miles from Miami. Bob sheets director of the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables said that the Center can give Only about a Day of warning to get out and that evacuation times should be less than 24 hours.
