We did and the reason I remember this hurricane SO vividly, is because my mother "cooked" over a can of sterno, which made whatever she cooked ( cans of soup especially) taste like sterno and was disgusting!
Sandy was far worse! We lost power, for weeks, up here, from that storm. At least we have a generator.
Of course, my memory could be playing tricks but I don’t think we were hurt at all during Donna but I clearly remember the rain. Sterno! My sisters-in-law, like all good Italian-Americans, have Sterno and chaffing dishes for all occasions - including hurricanes, no doubt.
