It's just incredible to hear people's impressions of such catastrophic events.

I remember Hugo, as we...Thanks for the story, Cap!<br /><br />I remember Hugo, as well. I was on the USS Eisenhower and we had to leave port in Norfolk for safety. We stayed out of the main path, but I've still never felt 95000 tons of ship tossed around so much. A couple weeks after that, I was transferred to a school in Charleston, SC. I had heard of the devastation there and was wondering what I'd encounter as I got there. 60 miles west in I-95, the trees were just pushed over. As I headed down US-17, I could see houses without roofs, I remember seeing an auto mechanic shop missing a wall, but damned if the mechanic wasn't working on a car. The closer I got, the greater the extent of the damage became, but it was also amazing how much the people of Charleston had done in those few short weeks. There was very little that wasn't operating in some fashion. I couldn't have been more impressed by what I saw while I was there.Chuck Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-85311016699874773712012-11-28T15:58:42.134-07:002012-11-28T15:58:42.134-07:00You truly do not want to mess with mother nature. ...You truly do not want to mess with mother nature.

I don't think I can add much to that...other than, Thank you!!<br /><br />I really want to convey here the way Mother Nature upset my life in a matter of hours...and millions affected by other hurricanes (esp. Sandy) as well! It's something hard to imagine if you haven't been through it before.<br /><br />The fact that picture is the "most beautiful I've ever taken" only adds to the depth of its meaning when you really contemplate the moment I was in...flying home, not knowing what to expect, not knowing if my home had survived, if my airline still existed...if Julia was even alive!!<br /><br />Knowing what we know now, we can appreciate it simply for its aesthetic beauty. But the moment in which it was snapped...was anything but beautiful or simplistic...capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-85555075111716160422012-11-13T17:58:05.776-07:002012-11-13T17:58:05.776-07:00Hey Cappy........'Posting'..even in the &#...Hey Cappy........'Posting'..even in the 'WakeTurbulence' of Sandy.....is ok....!!!.....and living in South Louisiana.....we had our fair share of hurricane heartache.....with Andrew in 1992, Katrina in 2005, Gustav in 2008.....where Houma took a direct hit......and of course......Old Uncle Isaac this past September.......!!!!.......It's a scary thing....and dangerous....to ever take any storm lightly......!!!!....That is one "Wild" pic of Sandy.....for your opening shot........!!!....and my heart does go out to those....there along Sandy's destructive path......!!!!!!!!!!...when, for many.....the only thing they owned....was the clothes on their back.......and while.....material things.....can be replaced......."HOME" matters.....because it's there...where our "LOVE"....is carried on....with children, family and friends.....!!!!<br />Without the "HOME"......we are lost, I think....!!!<br /><br />and you sure in the hell.....have some Awesome Pictures here........I Love the DC-3.......Hey GG did ya see the DC-3..????<br />but the best is the TWA (Trans world Express).........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />So.......was it actually affiliated with TWA Airlines.....??????.......<br />I kinda like the idea, you started "Sucking up to me"......a loooooong time ago..........LOLOLOL........!!!!<br />I remember Hugo.....too, and for some reason.....I was driving home from New Orleans.....and the radio......mentioned that the barometric pressure was the lowest....in history.....something like that.....and it stuck with me........I remember that as vividly as anything....!!<br />It seems to me.......many times.......hurricane's have a way of hitting at night....only to have us look at the destruction.....in the harsh morning....after.....It's never good....!!!!!<br />and yes, feel....grateful,...for not much loss of life........but really...it's the loss of 'life' as you knew it..............that can be every bit as heartbreaking.....!!!!!!!!!......<br />Thank You Cappy......for such a lovely......blast from the past....even in destruction....Ya have no choice, but to rebuild.......!!!!!<br />It does break my heart to see your Grumman Mallard tossed about......like a matchstick.........!!!<br /><br />and Happy Birhtday to Julia.....as well, from MissTWA......<br />PS.....I so agree.....with the picture you took of the sunset after Hugo......flying in formation....with a companion 'mallard'...that shot will always be yours.......<br />I like that!!!!!!!<br />MissTWA singing off for now............♠<br /> <br />getjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-15034311668187827402012-11-13T13:14:27.065-07:002012-11-13T13:14:27.065-07:00Great to see you here again from http://izdiher.bl...Great to see you here again from http://izdiher.blogspot.com over in Pakistan!!<br /><br />I hope things are calming down over there, and I continue to love your posts!!<br /><br />I will email you a small version of the vid asap. ;-)capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-18032744441340621052012-11-13T13:11:31.872-07:002012-11-13T13:11:31.872-07:00Welcome aboard, Mark!
