Today is letter N of the Blogging From A-Z Challenge and my theme, Atlantic Hurricanes. You can read more about my theme, here, and if you are a crafter, you can check out the blanket that I am crocheting that coincides with this challenge, here.
I’ve lived my entire life in the South, so I’ve been through my fair share of tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes. For this challenge, I’m looking back on the storms that have impacted my life and some of the bigger more unforgettable storms.
I have no recollection of Hurricane Noel, but then again it didn’t directly hit Florida or North Carolina. It did brush by the East Coast bringing rain and wind to both areas, causing power outages, strong waves, flooding, beach erosion, and downed trees. While the storm was only a hurricane for a short time, the most damage occurred in the Dominican Republic and Haiti whereas a tropical storm, Noel caused massive flooding and mudslides, resulting in 219 deaths.
