In August 1992, Palmetto Bay and the surrounding South Miami-Dade area were severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew. Many of the homes and businesses in Palmetto Bay were destroyed. In the subsequent years, the area was slowly rebuilt. Although many areas of Miami were heavily affected by Hurricane Andrew, Palmetto Bay was one of the worst affected and remains a reminder of the hurricane's extensive disaster in the city today.{{Cite web |url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/08/17/2956273/photo-gallery-08-17-141113.html |title=Destruction in the wake of Hurricane Andrew |access-date=May 4, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130128220819/http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/08/17/2956273/photo-gallery-08-17-141113.html |archive-date=January 28, 2013 |url-status=dead|website=Miami Herald }}{{cite news|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/news/special-reports/hurricane-andrew/article1942070.html|title=Remembering the fury of Hurricane Andrew in South Florida|newspaper=Miami Herald|date=August 18, 2012|last=Morgan|first=Curtis}}
