Well, in 1994, after Andrew passed over Fl, it came right to my home town in Louisiana. My neighborhood was the only one in the whole town that didn't loose power. It was scary to hear 100mph winds at night in your house.
You lived in Houma?
My youngest son was born the night Andrew hit us a night to remember.
I watched the windows blow out of the hospital.....celling tiles then being sucked out....the wife didnt have a bed to rest in..... 4th floor of SLMC started flooding from part of the roof that was missing.
Last year Katrian hit where i live now 135 MPH winds for 9 hours out of power 18 days...had to carry a gun to stop looters

I remember Andrew. It was scarey to be at home with that wind whistling. Why do storms like that always hit at night. I didn't wanna sleep in case we heard a tornado coming.
I lived in the ONLY neighborhood in town that didn't loose power (Summerfield). The power used to go out ALL the time when I grew up. But a hurricane hits, and it only flickered a couple of times. We had to go out in the store to push up a screen porch wall - the wind almost pushed it over. Was not fun
My fiend lived in Lafayette Woods, and they didn't get power for over a week. When the mall got power, it was very popular simply because of the a/c
I'm stocking up on ammo this time around.. Our crime rate has skyrocketed in Houston since Katrina/Rita. In the event of another chaotic hurricane event, I want to be ready.. :? :shock:
