We had a hurricane in the early 60's, it was Donna and we had a tree fall against the front of our house and I remember the power was off for 3 days. That's the only time we remember getting hit. I had many more problems in the six years I lived in Pensacola and the eight years I lived in Savannah.
The good old days. I still have a very close friend who lives near Lake Maggiore. We did get some big blows but nothing to write home about. We got nailed when we lived in Houston though.
