Betsy 1965. Blew down a bunch of trees in BR and blew away our camp in GI. The camps immediately on our left and right remained.

Frederic 1979. I was 7. We got hurricane force winds here in East Central MS. I remember going outside to throw the football into the wind, and my mother yelling at me to get my stupid arse inside. I also remember it blowing our TV antenna down, and Daddy being pissed. I believe it was on a Wednesday or Thursday, and he was pissed thinking we might not get it fixed in time for the Saints-Eagles game on Sunday. I remember him getting on the roof to fix it and yelling when he got it fixed.

Mine was Andrew, but I have no recollection of it. I was only almost 2. My mom was very pregnant with my brother (he is 9/16/92) and they had just finished the nursery. Right in the middle of the hurricane, I found a jar of Vasoline and put it all into my hair.
Without power and at my aunt’s house, my mom had to re-wash my hair numerous times to get it out.

Andrew was the first I remember. Opal was the one that screwed our property up.

I was in high school for Andrew. First one I really remember. Spent a lot of time in Waffle House with my friends

What was the first hurricane you experienced?
2.5 feet of water in our house.

Andrew here in Baton Rouge. Our family came up from New Orleans and it was worse here than there.

Camille, Bogalusa. I was six years old at the time. I can still hear the sound of the winds like it was yesterday.
When Ivan was heading to Pensacola, I told my wife we were bailing to Tallahassee to stay with family. I didn’t want our son who was six at the time to experience that.

In elementary school in Sherwood Forest. Not real sure what a hurricane was other that it was bad. Then the tornado's hit. Sherwood Forest took a beating and church at STM soon after was humbling for a 5th grader.

Sorry but I think Betsy was 1965. Just sayin.
Posted on 8/29/21 at 11:24 am to starkvingrad
Camille 69, but I was but a lad. I just remember hunkering down inside my grandparents house where we all had gathered.

Unsure. Growing up in South FL I felt like in the 90s we were hit by every storm
