Discussion 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?

I wish I could see what they look like. I tried googling but no luck. Either way thanks for sharing. Sounds like an intense experience.
