I live in Sebring, Florida. This was by far our worst hurricane of the 4 that hit us in 2004. The constant blue flashes outside were so scary, my heart is starting to pound just thinking about it. The wind was so incredible, we could hear the bases of all the pine trees creaking. Of course we lost power for about a week and a half. Our power line came loose and was sparking around outside, which was dreadful. You are totally helpless in a hurricane.

Riviera Beach is the crime capital of Florida. 99% of the population is scum. Too bad this hurricane didn't remove it from the map.

We were on vacation there at the time and stuck in the hotel 20 miles from the eyewall. It was intense. We stocked up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a couple of days.

we had no power for 3 weeks after jeanne (west palm beach)

That storm was probably one of the scariest moments in my life. And we didnt get power back until a week later

[ministercreek]

Scary? Really?

I want to do some hurricane camping.

Nothing "scary" about hurricanes in my opinion.

[jonesmarc]

@ministercreek make sure you do your hurricane chasing at night. day hurricanes are bloody boring.

[ministercreek]

@jonesmarc Thanks I keep that in mind :p

that storm:

1.scared the wee out of me, in Palm bay, it was a good reason to stay up that night.

2.did a number on everyone's houses.

3.knocked our power out for only 27 hours.

4.and it showed the best and the worst in the locals.

I apologize for the multiple consecutive posting if that's not allowed.

This video shows some unbelievable winds. It appears that the trees down here in "Hurricane Alley" are much tougher than the trees up here in Ontario. I mean, here, we get a derecho with wind gusts to 60 mph for only a few minutes, and we gets countless trees down. You guys get 100 mph+ gusts for at least an hour and yet a lot of trees stay standing.

[torontostorms]

It would have been enough better if it was day because I would be able to see more.

[torontostorms]

I meant *even* better.

Awsome footage jim....Keep them coming.Adrian

AWESOME footage!!! It's amazing that winds in the southwest eyewall were that strong. During the eye and second half, it looks like you were right down the street from where I was in Port St. Lucie... I recognize all that debris in the road just before the onramp to I-95.
