you were in a doozie!!.... mine was HUGO, and I was in Charlotte NC... 200 miles from the coast.... we experienced everything you did , except the storm surge.... the high winds, trees falling, power outages, flash flooding from too much rain and scared spitless!!!.... and I moved OFF the coast to avoid the darned hurricanes!!... ironic, huh?....

Many. Former NJ Resident where the hurricans usually end. Lots of flooding. Lots of rain and dangerous conditions. I had a job with the railroad so had to be out in all types of weather.
Some were so bad the power would be lost for a day or more. In one instance the flooding was so great it destroyed a town. Also all computers were out, from the flooding. Could not use a credit card for several days during this problem. Lost phone service on several occasions.

Let's see
I was born in 1961, and moved to New Orleans in '64. Betsy hit in '65. That was my first. Camille followed in the late '60's. I can't remember all of the others' names, Andrew was one, Cindy another.....Then came Katrina....You said 'no bad words', so I will refrain.
It has been my experience that the storm itself is very survivable, if you are prepared. The aftermath is tough. It requires forethought, preparation, and fortitude.
I would never recommend that anyone should weather a hurricane. There is no reason not to evacuate. My wife, and I have no children, and are stubborn fools. We make sure our families leave, and stay behind to clean up afterward, save the deep freezers, and protect our property.
Helpful hint: Duct tape soup cans over the plumbing vents on the roof, otherwise the wind "plays" the pipes like a flute, making an eire sound.

I'm from Canada,I was staying at the swan and dolphin in Orlando when a cat one hurricane went through.
Better yet I went through a tornado just west of largo on Walshingham st.near the gulf,it was really scary,it wrecked a bunch of mobile homes.
One young woman was killed when her garage collapsed on her.

yes caught the back end of one in england in the 80s it was pretty windy and very wet. the slates on my roof were blown off the house and several cars in the street were crushed by falling trees - bad time not to have insurance!
