Yabut, as I learned in Florida, the hurricanes we get up here, with rare
exceptions, are not like the hurricanes in Florida. Wilma scared the
crap out of me.

Charley was the exciting one for us. Wilma may have even blown harder
but it did not seem as bad for me, because of the wind direction..

You are right about the northern storms tho. A Cat 3 is very rare up
there (like 1938 or sumpin)

We got our worst surge from Bob, a fairly modest storm. It is all in
direction and duration.

Wilma was the first hurricane that I had ever had experienced the "eye"
passing overhead. It was eerie. For us on the east coast, the back
side winds were stronger than the front. Fortunately they didn't last
as long. If I remember correctly, the front was a 4 hour adventure that
slowly built the winds until the eye wall hit, then total calm.
I went outside to check on things and tried to make a cell phone call
home to my wife in MA. Then, crap started falling out of the sky ...
bits of wood, branches and stuff. They the backside hit, harder than
the front. Backside lasted about 2 hours.
