I was in Jacksonville, NC when Fran hit. I was 14yr old and I can honestly tell you that it was something else for me. It was my first hurricane in the US and I can tell you that the houses here are made out of paper and not like back home out of concrete. but we survived, we had minor damage to the roof and the siding of the house came off but thank God we were ok. Some houses down from mine where demolish from top to bottom.

Nasty storm…but I really think the most terrifying damage and impacts come once winds get to about 140 mph in a hurricane. 115 mph is bad, but 140+ mph is extreme. Hugo, Andrew, Charley…all had those ferocious winds

Did you haooen to have a camera set up in the house you were filming at ( house at 42 seconds or so) …. on the Discovery film ” HUrricane!” They used your footage of the waves crashing up the steps of that house, but they also showed footage from inside the house as water crashed through it ( or was that a reinactment?)
