The storm surge impacted portions of Miami-Dade County, peaking at around 16.9feet (5.2m) just north of Homestead near the Burger King International Headquarters; the surge caused significant damage to boats and to the Charles Deering Estate. The nationwide maximum rainfall total from the hurricane was 13.98inches (355mm) in the western portion of Miami-Dade County. No major flooding was reported in the state. The hurricane caused about $25.3billion (1992USD) in damage and 44deaths in the state—15directly from the storm's effects and 29indirectly related. Many other sources, however, estimated that Andrew caused more than $32 billion in damage in the state.[1] Andrew was, at the time, the costliest hurricane in the history of the United States; it was surpassed in subsequent years by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Ike in 2008, Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017.
