After looking at the other storm pictures
It reminded me of this

We drove to higher ground sat in a restaurant watching the LV news :eek:

We left restaurant after 3 hours and drove back to Hotel looked like tidal wave had hit

That must have been really boring then... :INSERT INTO post VALUES ( :D

something similar...

I was in Florida two years ago with my wife and mum in law :devil2: INSERT INTO post VALUES (that was scary enough!!!)
and who joined us.... Hurricane Hugo. We had curfew from 4pm, told to stay away from windows, fill our bath and sink full of water and prey. That was scary! THe mum in law was a doddle after that.

They reversed the highway leading to fort lauderdale so all 8 lanes were heading in land!!

and the flight back, 7hours of a boeing doing an impretion of a rollercoaster.... not nice.
