Summary: Lived through Hugo - Part 2
Comment: My husband and I lived through Hugo also. We stayed in our home, mainly because the news crews chose our little town, 15 miles from the coast, to hole up in. None of us realized the magnitude of this storm until it was too late. We were the lucky ones, we managed to get through that horrible night basically unscathed. Others were not so lucky. I like the focus of the book being on surviving the storm and helping your fellow man, of which we saw a lot of. People would drive by, giving out food and ice and clean water. It made me realize there is still good in the world after all. Of course, a year after the storm we hightailed it up to Canada! I swore never again to go through such an experience. At least up here all we have to deal with is lots of snow!

Summary: The Eye of The Storm
Comment: My wife of 6 months and myself left N.Y. to live in Charleston S.C on June 11th 1989. We never in our young lives ever wish to see a storm of such magnitude.It was a living nightmare , your book was excellent . This storm generated more tornadoes than any other, the air force had clocked speeds of 240mph sustained gust.God bless the ones who were not so fortunate as we were.It was hell for months afterwards. Your book was realistic

Summary: Lived thru Hugo
Comment: My husband and I visited the virgin islands in 1989. After arriving on Saturday morning, a very strong wind and rain storm arrived, called Hurricane Hugo. The trama followed with hollowing winds, trees falling, people scrambling, loss of communication, and lots of confusion. We will never forget this week long vacation at this beatiful island. Your book does not do the storm and damage to visitors, people who reside on the island, people who have businesses on the island, and of course, those who own boats and planes in this island.
