Anyone on this site near this hurricane, please don't mess around. Heck, if you're willing to drive to NW PA I have plenty of room. Please be safe and use common sense. Godbless!

I agree these storms are nothing to play with. To many people get killed trying to ride them out.

I was at MCAS Cherry Point, NC in 1956 when Hurricane Ione went right over the top of us.

It was just like they say, it blew like heck from one direction for a day or so, was dead calm for an hour or two, and began blowing from the other direction. In a brick barracks, we were secure.

I was a Corporal at the time, and for us troops in the barracks, the whole thing was a three day beer bust and poker marathon. Supposed to be no booze or gambling in the barracks, but under those conditions the officers and Staff NCO's chose to look the other way. As I would have after I moved a ways up the ladder.

Thank you for your service.

I especially feel concern for the first responders who must risk their lives to rescue those who felt it would be exciting to ride it out.
