If you read the year by year description of Hurricane seasons at Wikipedia, you will be astonished. There was a Cat 5 storm that hit in 1955 killing 417 and doing $88 million in damages. I remember Audrey in 1977 because we were on vacation and got caught driving through part of it in Louisiana. I have very vivid memories of trees flying overhead, roofs flying from buildings, live power wires on the road and the rain being driven through the closed windows and doors of our car. We surely had a guardian angel that day.
