    I was 9 years old at that time. I remember my mom and grandma saying it's a hurricane 🌀 coming our way!!! I was saying to myself like "What's a hurricane?" The name it self sounded frightening to me as a kid, as if the world was coming to an end or something.

    I was 10 years old and waited out the storm in my house in homestead with my parents and sister. I will never forget that. I had to go to therapy for years after this.

    I was 14, in 7th grade. Slept through it in Pembroke Pines. Everyone moved from Miami to West Pines after the Hurricane, killed the race track and Sportatorium.

      Race track?
      Also, I’m pretty sure the Sportatorium was going to get blown down sometime because of how crappy it was after the mid-80s.

    I was in a 2 year old Lennar Home and the entire second floor blew away with me in the half bath under the stairs. A six hour freight train over my head.

    my momma hid me in a closet while my grandpa protected our home with a shotgun against the looters. I was fed by the national guard. My grandpa did things he can't forget.

    Please Fallow the warnings and Fallow if they call for evacuations, I had to work through Andrew because I was Cypress Gardens Anheuser Bush landscaper tree crew, the Milton looks the same or stronger than Andrew

      Same, I slept through Wilma, only I got to miss school for like 3 weeks, and the lights came back for us after 2. It was like 2 weeks of misery and missing Halloween, followed by a week of TV, no school, and leftover perishables!
