A warm cup of black tea may help to provide relief from a sore throat. Black tea (Camelia sinensis) contains compounds called tannins, which are astringent and may help to shrink swollen tissue. Honey or lemon can be added. Another tea remedy is to make the black tea double-strength and gargle several times a day.
Hurricane Andrew moved across southern Florida at an average forward speed of 18 mph (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1992). As it crossed southern Florida, Andrew left a path of destruction 25 miles wide and 60 miles long (Gore, 1993).
No major flooding was reported in the state. The hurricane caused about $25.3 billion (1992 USD) in damage and 44 deaths in the stateâ15 directly from the storm's effects and 29 indirectly related. Many other sources, however, estimated that Andrew caused more than $32 billion in damage in the state.
