Just some thought on this Hugo thing as I remember it. Anyone remember where Hugo started? It tore the Island of Puerto Rico apart. I was there on Barracks Duty (USMC) watching cars slide sideways, big cars, just moving in the wind. Coconuts moving horizontal. Trees stripped of leaves. The usual Hurricane stuff. But you will never hear PR being talked about with this hurricane. It was MUCH stronger than when it hit Florida.
Ever wonder what the news tells you?

Jon **** I think North Carolina or some othe state took teh brunt of Hugo. You thinkin of Andrew ? There the favorite one I remember is the Reserve or National Guard was right there afterwards for prevention of looters. SOMEONE knew teh facts though & confronted a couple of Army guys on patrol @ night & held them @ gunpoint & took their M16's. Why ? The Army guys weren't issued ammo.
