Hugo. 1989. We were having a hurricane party in Columbia for all of our friends and families from the coast. When a 250 year old oak bit the turf in the yard of the party we knew it was real. It took until 2011 (22 years) for our swamp to really become usable again.

Hilda and Andrew. Eye passed over both times. Went outside in the eye of Andrew to check the house for damages at 5:30 am.

Juan- 1985 15+ inches of rain and storm surge, very young but remember jumping in a pirogue to get to higher ground when levee broke at midnight
Andrew-messed us up for a while... I slept the entire time till water almost flooded us, sun came out and rain stopped and water began to drop.
Ida: watched half of it in daylight hours under my carport, carried my fence off in sections as it broke apart, dumb arse neighbor left a rocking chair on his porch that landed in the driveway, watched half of my shingles fly off and cleaned the catch basins in the street when the wind switched directions because drainage was clogged with shingles and gutters. Passed out from too much bourbon at 7 pm. Woke at first sunlight, cleaned trash for hours, tarped what I could of roof, took me an hour and a half to get 20 miles down bayou from power lines and trees everywhere... single lane paths like rabbit trails.

1957 Audrey
Wind was howling. Scary. I figured we was doomed when the big house we was in started lifting off the blocks. House starting shaking and debris from a big barn came flying by the window. All I can say, it helps when you have a God who hears the desperate plea of holy parents.
Been through other hurricanes but nothing near Audrey. We made it, but many others didn't.

Hugo - Charleston
Eye went right over Charleston with 120-130 mph winds and a 12’ storm surge. Awendaw (to the north) received a 16’ storm surge which still remains the biggest surge ever on the East Coast.
No power for almost 3 weeks.
1989 was the craziest weather year in SC history. A few months after Hugo hit us, Horry County had 13 inches of snow on Christmas morning.

Katrina damaged Houston more than it did NOLA

Maybe not worst but the most disruptive I’ve been in was Sandy hitting NYC. Apartment flooded and lost power. Had to evacuate to NJ. House lost power for 3-4 days. Lived off of a generator we bought from the fire station.

Harvey - Katy
Harvey-Kingwood. 4' of water in house. No flood insurance. It was the most life altering but it was just a rain event that wiped out my savings. The worst to go through was Ike. It pretty well was still a Cat 2 when it made it to Kingwood. It made landfall around midnight and hit us about 0300. Eye came right over the house around daylight. The backside winds were the worst but thanks to Jesus it was daylight then. I didn't evacuate since I went through the train wreck of trying to evacuate from Rita when it took us 20 hours to get to Monroe from H-town. I was scared shite-less during Ike. It was intense.

Ike, Harvey, and Katrina all sucked pretty bad.
Katrina because of Nola family and the memories it took from us more than feeling in danger in BR.
Ike was miserable due to 10 days with no power and the circumstances around that.
Harvey because I couldn't sleep wondering when I was going to have to move shite upstairs as the water crept in, and because we were trapped in the house due to flooding while my wife was 38 weeks pregnant.

That was kinda cool the first day or 2. I think I grilled outside every night. I ran just the most important stuff off generators but damn that got old quick and the night times when it was completely dark except for the lucky fricks with nat gas generators.

I had just moved into an apartment in the museum district with my future wife, her two cats and my giant dog. I was starting my first big boy job the week it hit. It was just a lot of stressful shite.
Although I was convinced I had to marry that woman after that week because of how relatively well it went considering, so that was a plus.
