Just like a strong wind

It depends on your perspective.
If I was a home owner and living on the beach or worst, in New Orleans and below sea level, it would be frightening. Continuously wondering if the house, family, pets or anything will survive.
If I am in a safe place, family safe, pets safe and have the important documents in a safe place. Then it becomes more of a worry of what material things may survive.
If you have none of those worries, that is, everyone is safe and no material things that can be destroyed, and in a safe shelter, it can be rather exciting watching the debris fly by. But after a few hours, that become boring and you gradually lose interest and just wonder when it will be all over.
Even if family and friends are safe and you don't have to worry about the material things, (I have been flown into places well away from my home to act as a forecaster for emergency operation centers or to help staff other offices during the emergency.) It is one of frustration. Not understanding why people don't take the necessary precautions to protect lives rather than clinging to their material things that can be replaced if destroyed. People calling in asking for help when none can be offered until the storm subsides, People asking questions for which there are no answers. Things like that. And afterward, when there is a list of injuries and fatalities, more frustration.

There's a flood and water can go in your houses and streets depending on where you live. You'd need a generator or you won't be able yo use electricity. The Internet and TV usually have no picture so I would recommend a portable DVD player. Stay away from windows. The best part of a hurricane is SCHOOL CLOSES =)

very windy, often rainy... if you're by the coast, the waves get huge and could definitely cause some damage to properties along the coast. hurricanes can also destroy perfect beaches by pulling tons of rocks onto the sand... you might lose power depending on the winds. trees can be uprooted and fall over and cause damage... the eye of the storm is pretty calm though, with blue skies and calm winds... but don't be deceived, because it's not over! i remember walking with my grandfather the day after we had a hurricane, and i was only 6 years old, and i literally got swept off my feet and my grandpa had to pull me back down to the ground. as long as the damage isn't that bad, it can be kind of thrilling. however, the damage often is pretty bad and can cause quite the panic.

If your inland and away from the coast it's very dark and cloudy and destructively windy and pouring rain. If your near the coast you'll see that it's very dark and cloudy and destructively windy and pouring rain. There's also huge waves and the ocean water comes up the sand and then floods the streets. Most of the time a few tornadoes pop up due to the storm's counter-clockwise rotation and it makes the winds and damage even worse.

The middle of a hurricane is calm. The eye is allways calm hardly without exceptions.
