RE: Have you ever lived where you could get hit by a hurricane?

in #crowdini6 years ago


I answered
Yes

Eight months pregnant and hit by Hurricane Hugo, Virginia 1989. No electricity for four days. Lost all our food. Trees and lines down along our winding country road. Tried to drive through a (now-swollen) low-water crossing to head to a restaurant when my 1968 Alfa Romeo got stuck in the rising creek. Couldn’t climb out. Luckily, some workers in a Caterpillar driving down our gravel road to repair lines spotted us and pulled us out before my car floated down the creek. Turn around, don’t drown....
