Oh, I don’t want no hurricane, just a little storm. I can’t imagine no AC down here. Plus my hood floods when someone sneezes during high tide.

Assuming you experienced the above, that sounds awful and why I prefer earthquakes.

Been through many, but circumstances like the above only 4 times. Hurricane George, TS Danielle, Hurricane Charley and Hurricane Irma.

George was my first and I was all excited had a big hurricane party, I lived on the beach and my restaurant was on the beach. No damage to home or restaurant, but no business for 8 days was the end of being excited about Hurricanes.

TS Danielle passed by us about 40,miles off shore on Friday morning around 2 am September 14,, 2001...Yea 3 days after 9/11. Passed during high tide and the surge put the Island and the restaurant 4 feet deep under water. Amazingly we only lost power for about 2 hours, it was all just rain and tidal surge. Almost no wind.

Opened for dinner Saturday night. Health department praised us for such a quick clean up and a nice little spot on the news brought us more business than we could handle.

Sorry, got carried away. Life.

I don’t remember Danielle, guess the news may have been preoccupied at that time.

I remember watching a documentary in school about one of the big hurricanes way back - can’t remember which one. They talked about people having a hurricane party and how that was a regrettable decision.

I was little but was down there for Andrews. Trying to save a beach condo. The beach hasn’t been the same since with dredging sand. You weren’t down there yet? Boarding windows and rain coming straight line thru the front. Crazy

No, that was before I moved here. I moved here in December of 1997, Andrew was in 1992.

Charley in 2004 was the worst one for me. All those times I saw rednecks on the news talking about tornados sounding like a freight train coming through, were right. Same with hurricanes if you're in the right spot. Was wicked. For at least a solid 20 minutes, I was legitimately afraid for my life.

Love Ron White talking about hurricanes. "Its not THAT the wind is blowing, its WHAT the wind is blowing". Lulz.

Irma was a birch. Did a lot of damage in MI. Had to replace windows and slider doors. Debris does do most the damage with straight line winds upwards of 100 moving boats and throws shat errwhere.

Irma was bad here but it didn't cause me any personal damage like Charley and I was without power longer with Charley than Irma. For me personally, Irma was just a pain in the ass.

@NorCalVol67, staying dry on the 30-whatsit floor?

Unrelated question: since you're in Miami, do you eat Cuban food often? (not just Cuban sandwiches)

We're going to Cuba in January for the Havana Jazz Fest, and I want to make a start on getting familiar with the food, especially with what people call signature dishes. So I'll be tackling vieja ropa, empanadas filled with picadillo, and mojo sauce on apparently anything, and then I'm pretty much hmmm. As in, where do I find yuca in the wilds of WNC... Is there any food you especially like in the Cuban category?
