Have been through hurricanes, but the most severe natural disaster I’ve been in was a flood around 1980, it rained steadily, not so hard but without stopping, for over 2 weeks and the storm drain system just slowly got overwhelmed and the streets started filling up, my mom’s house was pretty far above street level and far from the river and the bay but still got flooded, people were getting out on boats in what had been streets but now were streams. I was young and remember getting out but don’t remember how we returned.
