Abstract
The overwhelming majority of damage was caused by wind and wind driven rain. Damage due to flooding was minimal. The lesser wind speeds and correspondig lesser extent of damage seen in Louisiana provides an intersteing contrast in terms of performance of the structures and cladding. Damage to wind glass along Hurricane Andrew's path was slight. All broken windows could be attributed to missile impact, frame movement or failure, or total structural collapse. Major structural damage and destruction resulted from a tornado which passed through the LaPlace Reserve areas west of New Orleans.
