Subject: Hurricane Andrew blasted through the southern tip of Florida in August 1992, damaging or destroying tens of thousands of homes and forcing hundreds of thousands of persons to move at least temporarily to different places of residence. These massive changes not only disrupted the lives of many Floridians, but also destroyed the statistical basis for producing local population estimates in South Florida. This article describes the methodological problems created by the hurricane and how those problems were resolved through the use of existing data sources and the collection of new types of data. It closes with a discussion of several conceptual and empirical issues related to estimating the demographic consequences of natural disasters
