Last major Hurricane to make the hit on New Orleans was Betsy in 1965. Celebrated my 1st birthday with the roofing flying off at my grandparents house in a little town of Goodhope.

I was about 5 and living in Metairie when Betsy hit. Those memories will stay with me forever. We had to evacuate through a window (including my Grandma), go to a shelter, watched as our car, with my dad still in it, go onto two wheels as it almost got blown away, the darkness and sounds of glass breaking all over the school we were being sheltered in. To say that Betsy put us through hell is putting it mildly.
