I've Had a Little Experience With Hurricanes Myself

I'm traveling in Northern California today so I can't pay as much attention to Hurricane Irene as I'd like to.  Back in 1970 I had a front row seat for Category 3 Hurricane Celia in Corpus Christi, TX.  I wrote about the experience, and included some photos I took, here.  I have a pretty good idea of what the I-95 corridor will be facing today, though Irene will not be as strong as Celia was when it hit my motel on the bay in Corpus.
