reread what i wrote.where did i say it hit land as a cat5?i said it was a cat5, not WHERE it was a cat5. and it hit dc as a cat2, which is where i live. i remember the media's reaction to it being a cat 5 - didn't say it landed as one. please don't mislead people by pretending to know what other people are saying.

Isabel wasn't a category 5 when it hit Richmond, in fact, it was never a category 5 when it made landfall. It hit the coastal areas as a low grade hurricane, but when it got to Richmond it was merely a tropical storm/depression. It was no longer considered a hurricane. Please don't mislead people with incorrect facts about this storm. Katrina was only a cat. 3, and Ike hit as a cat. 2. Category 5 is a magnitude very rarely seen, and it certainly wasn't Isabel.

i remember going outside to take pictures during the storm... remember a VERY long night...but what i remember most was when it was a cat 5 hurricane, the news told us to write our SS# in permanent marker on our arm so they could IDENTIFY US!!!!!!!!!! i was a senior in high school and was relatively calm until that particular message was broadcast... !!!!!!

This was the worst storm I cand remember(and i lived in south florida for 10 years) Chesterfield virginia got hit the worst and it was not fun to go through. Most of where i live in chester is all oak trees so there were downed trees everywhere. Our power was out for 2 weeks. My house has a long driveway so we were stuck by dosens trees covering the road. as I recall there were 23 deaths in va.

I was in college in Louisburg, NC and our campus did not have that much damage. Most of the dorms did not have any power though. |
