Hurricane Isabel- September 2004
Hurricane Isabel hit the coast about an hour southeast of us. But it headed northwest, right towards us!!! We just barely made the southwestern side of the eye of the hurricane, which means we were spared the full force of the storm. (Hurricanes are strongest on the northeast side of the eye.) We did get a nice show, however, of wind and rain. We had no flooding, and no damage, thank God!!! Even though we were in the middle of the hurricane, we've had thunderstorms worse since then!!!
This was the night before... looks at those ominous clouds!!!
Wind whipping the trees
More wind whipping the trees
View from our balcony, and still more wind!!!
