Seeing as today is the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew coming through my town and blowing everything to smithereens, I've wondered what else we've experienced on this board.
Sandstorms? Tornadoes? Earthquakes? Landslides? Avalanches?
A category five hurricane that struck hardest in a town called Homestead about 15 or so miles away from where I lived then.
My dad drove us around our neighborhood right after the storm and there wasn't a tree left standing. The roof of a strip mall was on the road (it was a metal roof, weird).
We had no power for two weeks, either. Fun.
Nothing too serious happened to myself or my family, but I still remember that night vividly. We had a "hurricane drill" where my parents put my brother and I into the bathroom cabinets under the sink and they sat with their backs to the doors holding them down and keeping us inside. I laughed through it because I was only a kid, but once I got older I realized that the roof could have easily blown off and we would have been forced to stay in that dark space not knowing what was happening to our parents outside.
Your stories, please!
