Was in college in Raleigh when Hugo came through in 1989. I remember that night well. Blew straight through Charleston and right on up through Charlotte. I remember standing outside of a party at school looking up at the sky and you could clearly see the feeder cloud bands rotating.... was definitely erie.
Was in Raleigh in 1996 when Fran came through, my W was 7 months pregnant with D13. We were going to a wedding and went out to eat that night and actually drove back to the hotel in the middle of it not even realizing what it was. I opted not to get gas that night b/c it was raining sideways and I did not want to get wet. Next morning it looked like a bomb had gone off, no power which meant the gas pumps did not work and I was on fumes, we drove around for 2 hours before we found gas. LOL
5 huricanes blew through Florida in 2004, I was in Orlando for one of them.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
