I was in Charleston for that, at the shipyard. Yikes! Lots of stories, but scroll down on this URL http://www.cofc.edu/CGOinquiry/hurricanes.htm to check out before and after shots of the Atlantic House restaurant that was on Folly Beach.
Oh my! not the shipyards! That had to be a memorable experience!!
The sound of the wind is too spooky to describe, I don't see how anyone could ever sleep through one of these.
TY for the link!!
