I was a kid in 1964 when the remnants of Hurricane Dora blew threw Jacksonville, where I lived. Debris is indeed one of the major hazards as is rising water. Mom cleaned out the bathtub and filled it with water, it was what we drank, washed, and cooked from for 3 days. Light came from kerosene lanterns.
And we got off easy! Earthquakes last seconds and they are mighty dangerous but you haven't experienced anything until you've listened to the howl of a hurricane at night. 40 years later I still remember. Good luck, Floridians! I spoke with a buddy in Panama City Beach this morning and they got off light this time. Last time this happened, the water was 4' high in their house, and they built their house 4' above their neighbors as a defensive measure. |
