I lived through Hurricane Alicia in 1983 which came right through Houston, where I was living at the time. I remember it very well. How could I forget it. Power went out, winds were incredible, rain coming down like you wouldn't beleive. Afterward there was stuff spewed everywhere - what a mess. Many buidings were damaged with windows out and water damage. Hurricane Alicia was a category 3 hurricane which is 2 categories higher than the level of hurricane Sandy as I post.
And what did we do in all our wisdom to prepare... We hung out the night before drinking beer in tha Jacuzzi with the neighbors at the apartment I lived in. ....
During the hurricane we got bored without any power and went for a drive as the hurricane was winding down to see what was happening. Driving around while a hurricane is ongoing is surreal and there's nothing quite like it. While we were driving around something smashed into the car breaking the windshield and damaging the car. No injuries though.
Young and Stupid !
