I've been through too many hurricanes to count, living in NC. Fran was the worst - dropped a tree on the house (whilst I was in it!), without electricity for 6 weeks, bottled water for weeks (running water but needed boiling -- but no power, right?), etc.
It's a bizarre experience -- going to work in the city which got its power restored first, cooking and eating all meals there, and coming home at night to a dark, hot house with only Coleman lanterns.
