Some storm in the late 70’s. Our house in Lafayette flooded and all of the carpets had to be taken out and we had no power. It sucked because my parents’ freezer was propped open and the power was off so there was no ice cream.

The first storm that I kept up with was hurricane Allen in 1980. Even though it really wasn’t a threat to Louisiana I remember getting the six hourly updates and tracking the storm with my WAFB hurricane tracking chart. The only way to track the storm in 1980 was through NOAA weather Radio and local news.

I was just a toddler for Camille, but we were on vacation in Biloxi and I remember my grandparents freaking and telling everyone we had to pack up and leave. Vacation cut short.

We rolled out for andrew. Went to a lakehouse in upper miss.
May flood of 95 wasnt a hurricane. But that was the most rain on a short period of time i ever saw. Only time the house I grew up in had water in the garage. House was raised.
It was 2 waves of rainfall

Frederick in 1979. We lived in a tiny house on the west side of Pensacola. But my mother's family all lived in Gulf Breeze and they had been evacuated and had come to our house. Lights went out, trees started falling. It was all a big campout with the grandparents until that happened, then it got really scary for five year old me.

Camille. I was a toddler for Betsy. But for Camille I remember the panic and whole extended family being huddled in gentilly.
Ironically 2 weeks before Camille we were in Biloxi at a family friends house on the beach. We went back 3 weeks later and the only thing left of the house was a bathtub. and there was a huge shrimp boat in beached(no pun intended) where the neighbors house was.

Andrew. It was my second year at LSU.
Being from NWLA/East Texas and young, I never paid much attention to hurricanes.

Fredrick in 79 for me. I was 7 and we rode it out on Rodenberg Ave. in Biloxi. I thought it was just another family get together at my Grandparents house.
The last hurricane I stayed on the coats for was Georges. I stayed at a friends house just on the north side of I-10 in D'Iberville. We thought the roof was going to blow off as it was lifting up and slamming back down. We were in the attic trying to strap the trusses down to stop it. I'll never stay anywhere close to the coast for a hurricane again. No power or water for a week after is just miserable.

Hurricane Betsy. I can still see the roof being ripped off of our house in NOLA and the rain coming in.

Betsy left a skylight in the bathroom of our mid city house.
