Jacob will be formed in the Atlantic ocean moving up through the gulf, through Cuba, and up into the United States. I was never scared or concerned.

The weather man said the winds had reached 200 mph, the power shut off, and it was dark and scary but no one was hurt. Unfortunately, the workload soon became too much for just the two of them. I looked across the street to find the BV motel south of Highway 90 gone.

The hurricane's forward speed was discovered to have increased, from 10 miles (16 km) to 25 miles (40 km). Belle would eventually run headlong into Jones Beach, NY.“We saw the troopers the next morning in the Lighthouse parking lot,” says Mez. (AP Photo/Jack Thornell)

Fifty-two residents of the island resisted evacuation appeals and waited out the storm. The hurricane caused massive destruction as far inland as Augusta, Georgia, killing hundreds more.

To my surprise, the car started.

Because storm names are used in alphabetical order, starting at A each year, storm names closer to the beginning of the alphabet tend to be used more, which gives them more opportunities to be retired. I didn’t live there when Katrina hit, but I understand that Frederick damaged the house more than Betsy or Camille. He hemmed and hawed up to the last second before I finally told him he was blowing it …. I can still remember the chill that came over me when thinking about what could have happened. He lives there to this day and has shaped thousands of boards.”The summer of ’95 remains one of the only times that the entire East Coast was surfed out, after 11 hurricanes, five of which were major.A classic Cape Verde spinner that was named on August 8, hitting peak intensity with winds of 144 mph on August 12 and retaining tropical storm status for ten days, Felix jogs the memory specifically because of the loop-de-loop it did several hundred miles east of the Outer Banks, a move that stretched out the length of the swell.As much as east coasters like to romanticize a good hurricane party, swells are far more fun when they arrive at your break, instead of your basement.

After several days of anxious waiting, Bertha was slowly spinning up on a looping, erratic course headed for the Carolinas, which did not give Jess the warm fuzzies about the Outer Banks.

We were mainly towing because the current was psychotic. At one point during the hurricane, we were forced onto the second floor as the first floor filled up with water.

I asked my father why people were shooting at us.
