The 2 major hurricanes I've been through are Lily and Andrew. Being 2 hours west of New Orleans and above sea level, flooding isn't much of a problem here but the wind is. You should have seen all of the uprooted trees and the houses they crushed when Lily hit a few weeks ago. And I think the wind only got up to about 110 over here. My uncle told me that a 155+ mph category 5 'cane would level houses. The storm surge has got to be the killer on the coast though.

Tornadoes certainly are some scary beasts. I've still never seen one but I've always wanted to (at a safe distance). Didn't they have a few the other night in St Landry?
