I rode out a hurricane in Houston in the mid-80's and have very similar images. I don't recommend anyone doubt the power of Mother when she blows. Getting up at 3:00AM and feeling the walls of my home move a couple of inches everytime the wind picked up is not my idea of fun. Needing a chainsaw and 4WD to get out on the roads, all of downtown bare of glass because someone thought that gravel on the top of buildings was a good idea, flooding everywhere, trees sideways everywhere. Thats why I choose to live a little further from the coast. Good images and good memories.
