Never forget the sound of my brick patio wall collapsing, and wind whistling.. South Charlotte looked like a war zone😳
I loved Hugo. It was EXCITING !
The name Humberto was the name that replaced Hugo back in 1989. Whenever all the names from the 1989 season was used again for the 1995 season the name Hugo was replaced with that name. but if it never was retired the name Hugo would have been represented even in 2019 because the names for the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season where the exact name that starting in 1983. Used again in 1989,1995,2001,2007,2013,and for the 30th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo for the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. So if the name Hugo was not retired in 1989 it would have been used for all those years that it had and every year including this year
Hey! The storm was gigantic! God bless all the refugees.
We went to a Birthday Dinner Party at a Country club off Pineville Matthew rd. Many people came because of the live band. When the storm got bad a few people left. We watched a SC, TV station that was reporting this thing was headed our way quickly, We drank more Champagne and laughed it off, and you could hear trees cracking down. A few more people left that had a short drive. The rest of us were 10 and 15 miles from home. I t can't get worse!, the men told thire crying wives. Then boom! In the distance. We made the best of it and pulled couches in the ball room and had a Hurricane party. We had no concept of how bad it got until morning. Oddly we never lost power. Back then the area was mostly forests, Pineville Matthew rd was only 2 lanes! Forget about going home, the roads were not passable till 3 :oo that day, even then you drove around huge amounts of debris.
It reminds me of Hurricane Andrew!
I remember when the board hit me in the head, thanks Mom.
I was baby at time
Global Warming is accelerating remember? Ian?!?!
HUGO ...
In my opinion there has not been a more powerful and more violent hurricane.
I would categorically refuse to believe that there were Category 5 hurricanes.
I would even say that the most powerful hurricanes were category 4.
But for Hugo, we came close to category 5.
There were, later, other hurricanes which reached an intensity close to that of Hugo; hurricanes like Lenny and Maria that occurred in 1999 and 2017 respectively.
Hugo will have made history, because it is the most powerful hurricane ever to occur in the Caribbean and the most powerful hurricane ever to occur in the United States.
