Lonely Planet review

Florida and hurricanes go together like peanut butter and destructive jelly, and this fascinating center is the first line of defense against these devastating storms. Free 40-minute tours are available by appointment only, and document both the drama of hurricanes and the intricacies of storm-tracking, one of the main responsibilities of this facility, located on the campus of Florida International University (FIU).
