"Hurrican Alicia was almost 25 years ago, and it wasn't huge when it landed. There are a lot of young adults here with no memory of that whatosever."

I was living in the Richmond area at the time. That was the first hurricane that scared me.

No hurricane scared me until Andrew's eye passed five miles from my house. Tree branches hit it with such force that it cracked the bricks.

When you see and hear that, you begin to wonder how long you can hold out. Of course, at that point, you have no choice. Duck and pray.

We were living in the center of Houston when Alicia hit and we didn't have electric power for 9 days. I'll never forget that storm.
