My first was #Betsy in #1965 when we lived in #Miami, a bit Northwest of #KeyLargo where it officially made landfall in #Florida.
These storms, even "weak" ones, are like being in an extremely wide tornado for hours, 8 or more hours is not unusual, and they can spawn actual tornadoes and tornado-like microbursts.
#Ida reversed the course of the Mighty #Mississippi.
I've been in and near many, and they are never fun, as some think until they experience one.

The #Earthquake episode of #Earthstorm is another one that hit me hard, first watching the devastation in #Northridge, #California, especially hearing the story of the Lee family, then seeing the relentless force of the #2011 #Tōhoku #tsunami in #Japan and hearing survivor stories.
The #GhostPhone made me cry.
I can imagine being in these situations, helpless, which is why I get so deeply affected.
The videos are amazing and terrifying records of nature's uncaring power.
