Hurricane Season is here: What is your best storm story?

What is your best storm story? I have two:

For the first, I was at the Naval Academy when Hurricane Isabel hit. We had midshipmen (all plebes) standing at every entrance to Bancroft Hall supposedly to report on any changes in the weather. The problem was none of them had radios or anything (this reminds me of when we guarded the entrance with our cemented up drill rifles and bayonets after (9/11)). We were all told very clearly not to go out in the storm. So of course we did. We played soccer in the flooding water, ran through the waves as the sea level came over the seawall, and a ton of us got sick. My favorite memory of this one though was an image the next day that circulated of people kayaking through downtown Annapolis.

My second is when I was at AMO school in Milton Florida. We were evacuated because Hurricaine Katrina was supposed to hit the Pensacola area dead on. So we had an extended weekend and thought what better opportunity than to go to New Orleans! None of us had been there so it seemed a very prudent and timely adventure. Driving along the highway we went from seeing 0 cars in the other direction to a complete wall of traffic. We turned on the radio to hear that the storm was expected to hit New Orleans now, not Pensacola. So we turned north and ended up spending the weekend in Atlanta after some very interesting driving maneuvers.
