The 2005 Hurricane Season....I experienced Hurricane Dennis (2005) in Florida, it wasn’t a direct hit where I was, it was slightly more intense than Irene (but shorter lived), but not as wild as Sandy. But I was a kid from NYC that had never experienced a Hurricane/TS before, so it was a little unsettling to see large objects being hurled around outside, signs falling, and palm trees being ripped to shreds.
2005 just had hurricane after hurricane, I was glued to the weather channel, I stayed up all day/night during Katrina’s landfall and the aftermath.
