Hurricane Zeta.
I went outside while the eye was passing over. I even started a thread about it on here.

The only other time I went outside during the eye was that storm shortly before Katrina that was upgraded to a Cat 1 hurricane after the fact.

We hit the road for Ida but had a lot of family that stayed. One uncle who is usually pretty calm was texting us every hour asking if it was almost done because he did not know how much more he could take. Another uncle was glad he stayed because he was able to barricade his front doors from blowing in. In laws said it sounded like a train was passing out their front door for four hours straight. I never plan to put myself or family through that.

Andrew was the worst I remember and I was 7 years old when it came through. It may have been a 3 when the eyewall got to us. It was really bad and I would not want to do that again. We are about 60 miles straight line from Morgan City and we got hammered. I don't want to experience a direct hit from a 4 or 5.

Laura was still a 2 when it passed through CENLA. I don’t want to be on the coast a storm

1965 Betsy

Not on coast, but eye past over Plaquemine and my father and I walked in the eye. Was between Cat 3 or 4. Freakiest thing I’ve been through ever.

Ida passed right over us in Amite county Ms. That was the longest night I’ve had but we made it through unscathed other than some trees down. I can’t imagine being in that on the coast as it came ashore.

Walking around Lakeview during the eye of Zeta was otherworldly. Eeriest half hour or so I’ve ever experienced. The color of the sky coupled with the wall of swirling clouds you could see coming was absolutely mesmerizing.
