I survived Hurricane Bertha, Fran, Bonnie, Floyd, and Isabel. Every storm gave us hurricane force winds except Isabel(64 mph wind gust was the strongest she gave us)

Heh, I don't know about you but i think we are going to have our 6th maybe even 7th this hurricane season...

I just hope my predictions are right! :grr:

What exactly defines being "in" a storm?

I drove through the edge of Georges, got tickled by Fay, ruffled by Claudette, and nearly drowned by Allison.

Do you all consider only those where a storm makes landfall as being "in" it, or is it anyone within the range of wind and rainbands considered to have been in that particular storm?

I am extremely lucky. I have been through only two tropical storms: Floyd and Bertha. Other storms have brought some wind and waves, like Isabel, but none others have passed really near us.
