Agree...the length and quality of the video really captured what it was like.

This video really demonstrates that even cat 1/cat 2 winds are not too be downplayed....they are destructive, scary, and not something most people have really experienced (although they may claim otherwise)!

This video really shows that a 'weaker hurricane' is an oxymoron....it is still a storm capable of producing extreme conditions and widespread damage.

15 months later there are still condos around here with no drywall and residents living in trailers in the parking lot (my condo complex at least).....victims of a wicked morning in October 2005 and 15 months of insurance/condo assoc/city/bureaucratic hell that has forever changed our community.....monthly condo assoc rates up $200 a month this year, that's after $8500 assessment/unit last year....ouch! I can only imagine the untold horror stories from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast that would make my experience like a walk in the park....
