Berwick Bay

Re: How often do you get hit?

My old hometown area (Berwick Bay) La. 2.96 years for brush or hit. My present landfall area (Intracoastal City) La. 5.04 years. Quite a difference since Intracoastal City is only about 60 or 70 miles west of Berwick Bay. It shows the big drop off in frequency which occurs in South Central La. as opposed to Southeast La. Now as you travel west the frequency picks up again just before the Texas border in extreme SW La. near Cameron.

How often this area gets affected?
brushed or hit every 3.32 years

Average years between direct hurricane hits.(usually within 40 miles to include small hurricanes)
(15h)once every 9.06 years

But the real answer to how often I get hit is:
It depends on what I do to annoy my wife.
