WTF - a hurricane in nyc?

When I moved from Miami to NYC in 2003, I was relieved that they never got hurricanes. I remember Andrew :( and that was nothing short of traumatic. People that have not experienced a storm of that magnitude, can easily overlook the trauma because they aren't remotely effected/affected. I guess I was the naive one to think I could avoid hurricanes all together.

I remember when Andrew hit Miami in 92, the summer before I started 3rd grade. Earlier that month, my grandma had a face lift. So, her head was all bandaged up like a zombie when the storm hit... when went to the food banks etc, people let us cut every line! I also remember, my cousin Holly & her parents came to live with us, b/c their house was really messed up. That was kinda like torture. I think she was in her "terrible two's" or maybe it was 3, 4 or 5. She was terribly spoiled no doubt... or maybe it felt that way b/c I had to share everything with her at that point. umm.... na, she was a brat. Hurricane Holly. ha!
