#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Sept. 13, 1999 -- Emmy Award Followup; Hurricane Floyd

September 13, 1999: We started off post-Emmy Monday with Helen Hunt, who took best comedy actress honors for Mad About You; this was just the top block preview:
1999_09_13
Here it is in the full, live page (which also features My News headlines referencing the latest 1999 Moscow apartment bombings, which would eventually spur a war):
1999_09_13a

For the PM update, we switched to Hurricane Floyd, which hit the Bahamas and southeast US (sound familiar?):
1999_09_13b

We did another update following Floyd:
1999_09_13c

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
