I remember after we moved from N.J. to Alabama in '77, we experienced our first hurricane and that was Frederick of '79.
The damn wind NEVER stopped howling.
Mom had us get under the stairwell at one point.
I know it changed the whole landscape around there after that.
Could see the Mobile Bay in some areas where before it was thick with old Oak trees.
Which then led to more development in some areas.
To say our swimming pool was a glorified mess, would be an understatement.
Anyhow, I pray for those that will be in Irma's path.
Hopefully it won't be us.
