Hurricane Gilbert

[Ptarmigan]

Don't know if it is the right place to post. Anyone here in Texas remember Hurricane Gilbert in 1988? I was a kid that time in elementary school. Hurricane Gilbert was a monster Category 5 with 185 mph winds. I remember school had to close because of this hurricane. First time I had encountered a school closure because of bad weather. I remember it was cloudy and some light rain. Thankfully it made landfall south of Texas in Mexcio. I know Gilbert caused stormy weather in Central Texas. I wonder if Southeast Texas felt any effects from Gilbert.
