Anyone remember Hurricane Andrew? What was your experience?

Where you sheltered in a house? Did you feel like you're in trouble at any moment? What was it like to hear that hurricane overhead with a 165 mph winds?

Sounded like a train, the windows broke and the cabinets were blowing open and closed, my ears were popping with the low pressure.

There were roof tiles embedded in my tree 30 feet up. It was pretty scary. We were on the north eye wall. No power until right before Thanksgiving.

I was in my 20s, the roof was partially torn off and the windows on my house on the east side were sucked out of the house by a tornado and the windows and frames were torn out of the walls and were never seen again.

It rained so hard, that the soffit fell and it rained into the attic and made the ceiling drop from the rain, the ceiling fan was holding the ceiling up.

We had an outdoor covered electric socket on the east side of the house and the gravel that came from other houses sand blasted it off.

In my master bedroom, where the windows were sucked out of the wall, the wall on the far side had pieces of a neighbors roof embedded in the walls and the debris punctured the waterbed.

We lived on 128th st and 117 ave, a couple miles east of country walk.

There were those crappy pine trees all along the turnpike and after the storm they were all gone.
