I was living in new york at the time and I remember calling my Mom and there was no answer. I was scared thinking that my Mothers house didn't make it, then the call went thru and my mother was ok.

I was 15 when it hit our area, Las Piedras. I remember dad taking us out to see how the sea birds passed our house searching protection. We were with all the family and my mom's sister. The water came in trough the electric plugs in the wall. We were without water for two weeks and without light for one month. El Yunque was like elrapto says, like it was badly burned and all the houses were covered in leaves plastered to the wall.

I was 5 when this one hit us in PR. I only remember pieces of it, though, not the full devastation it caused.

I lived in Isla Verde at the time. The condo next door the windows blew out and the furniture right behind it.After the whole ordeal there was no electricity,water etc.A beautiful flamboyan tree that was near Lloren torrens came down on La Baldorioty.When I saw the devastation I sat on the sidewalk to cry.I had never in my life gone through anything like this. I was sedated the rest of the day.next day we emptied our water bed for bathing and use the bathroom.I can survive anything now.God bless

I was 6 and we lived in Charleston, SC. I remember the sound of the wind and hearing the trees snap all over the place. I also remember being really upset that the power was out, including my nightlight. I was afraid of the dark. We lost power for two weeks. It was unbelievable even at six years old. Everything was destroyed and I mean, everything!

This was my first and last hurricane in PR. I was 14 and I remember my mom and I trying to hold the awning down through my grandmother's broken window so the wind adn the flying aluminum signs wouldnt hit it. It was so scary... |
