Did Hurricane Andrew hit Asia?

No. Hurricane Andrew was formed on the west coast of Africa, and hurricanes always travel west first, possibly hitting land, then will curve up northeast before dying out. There is no way Hurricane Andrew could travel west all the way across the Atlantic, then Mexico, then all the way across the Pacific, and hit Asia. Hurricane Andrew would have been caught by some current near the Caribbean Islands, which it was.
