Cindy howled all night long, tossed leaves all over the front yard and knocked out our power until the following evening. She seemed gentle enough at first, but I remember being startled at the way the winds just seemed to suddenly increase. Did anybody expect her to get as strong as she did?

Don't forget Dennis!

[TS Zack]

I would agree.....

We went out to eat at 5PM that evening.. Overcast skies, calm as can be. No hint of any rain nor a tropical system. Everyone looked like they didn't care or didn't know.

I got home around 6PM, began seeing a few showers move in but still very light winds. By 8PM winds suddenly increased with gusts to 60mph. The peak of Cindy came around 11PM when we the street flooded & power was lost.

Quiet this year compared to last. Already 3 storms behind last year by tomorrow.

What a difference a year can make !

Anyone with half a brain will know that this year will not compare to 2005, the most active season ever.

Hopefully I didn't hurt any feelings. Just a brief comparison to last year.

[Swimdude]

Ahhh I remember Cindy! The TS that we all thought should've been a hurricane, right? I was at a family reunion in Kentucky - and my aunt/uncle flew home on the morning of July 3rd, right into New Orleans.

Not like that was anything compared to later in the year...

Officially, Hurricane Cindy - 75 mph.

[Hurricane Jason]

It's hard to believe that it's been that long already.

I did well during Cindy, and lost power for a week after Dennis.

Cindy was a big party in the OM. I got drunk and watched tree limbs fall and branches crack. My brother-in-law called me from Port Fourchon asking if I'd seen any weather yet, "because you will." Apparently when she stalled just north of Grand Isle, they were on under some strong feeder bands down that-a-way.

Dennis? You wouldn't even know there was a storm in the vicinity unless you were on Lake Pontchartrain. The winds were TS strength sustained that afternoon for about 3 hours. I rode it out on a sailboat eating sushi and grilled steaks. It was weird with all the hooks hitting masts - sounded like sailboat bells or something. Oh yeah, and I got drunk!

Steve Steve Steve Steve Steve!!!

The only thing that bugged me about Cindy is that I was without electricity for 12 hours. Looking back at other events, I'd take that again!

[Opal storm]

I remember going surfing while Cindy was making landfall.Cindy was actually worse than Arlene here in Pensacola,winds were a lot stronger.I also remember going home that night and seeing that NHC track of Dennis with Pensacola right in the center.A lot of folks here were in shock that this was happening all over again,not even a year after Ivan.

[MGC]

Cindy was nothing over here in Miss. I think she spent most of her energy over in Louisisana. We had some gusty winds that morning. Little did I realize that just a few weeks later the MS coast would be "gone with the waves." Having a nice rain shower as I type this, it is nice to have some rain.....MGC
