Update on the Hurricane Andrew project

I wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up on where the next big Second Signal upload is at. Hurricane Andrew is a massive story with a mountain of surviving footage, and it’s taking a little time to do it justice. I’ve got about half of the archive fully processed already, and the remaining segments are picked and queued up for enhancement.

It’s a big one, but it’s absolutely still on the way. Just wanted you all to know it hasn’t gone quiet… it’s just a beast behind the scenes. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Thanks for sticking with me. Coming soon.

Still working on the Hurricane Andrew Archive. It's one of the more complicated compilations, as it was important to locate reports that would be exclusive to this archive, limit reusing well known footage, or when used, increasing the quality. The video begins August 17th 1992 when Andrew was forming as a Tropical Storm, all the way to major landfall in Florida, as well as on to Louisiana. The final video may range close to 6 or 8 hours. All footage has been enhanced up to 1080p HD.

Coming Up on Second Signal:

As we head into the next couple of months, I’m lining up a few big additions to the archive, including two viewer-suggested broadcasts:

Hurricane Andrew (1992) | Restored network coverage and aftermath reports.

The 2008 Stock Market Collapse | The financial crisis as it unfolded on live television.

Alongside those, I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes looks into how the archive is cultivated, plus new Relic Spotlight segments that dive into the artifacts and documents connected to these moments in history.

And in the next week, keep an eye out for a series of shorts marking the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, featuring rare news reports!
