I used to find them so exciting, then I went through four storms, three of them direct hits, as a disabled man with an infant son...
I am now terrified of them.
It was my first experience with helplessness. I still have nightmares
The other thing that sticks with me was the total devistation... and soon after all the Americans all over the world helping everyone else with storms, typhoons, wars that were not ours, etc, so proud of them.
Then remembering no one from any other nation coming to help us, funny that.
