Greetings John,
        Not within memory. I was only 5 yrs old at the time of Gracie in '59
so I remember little about it. Still have a vivid image of my Mom warming my
younger sister's baby bottle on a charcoal grill.
        I was out of town for Hugo, but friends who stayed remarked how
eerie it was during the passage of the "eye". I would prefer to leave it to
my imagination.

Charlie

Greetings All,
Many thanks to all of you sending words of encouragement re Isabel.
As of Monday morning it appears it will take a turn to the North, so all of
you up that way take heed...this is going to be an historic storm.

Charles ........ have you ever stood outside in the absolute centre of the
eye of a hurricane? I have. It is quite an experience.
Back in July 1970 in Hong Kong I went out of my way to stand outside in the
eye of Typhoon Rose as it passed directly through the colony. This was a 165
mile per hour storm but within the absolute centre of the eye the air was
absolutely and completely motionless for about twenty minutes. The air was
so motionless that cigarette smoke curled perfectly upwards, and there were
no animal sounds or bird noises, just a complete erie silence. The erieness
continued until the wind picked up from the other direction from that before
all went quiet. By then I was hunkered down inside my apartment. Was was
quite fascinating was that the bamboo scaffolding on high rise building
projects looked none the worse for wear after the typhoon passed.
