Same here in Charlottesville. In Albemarle county, with all the backroads, we miss school pretty easily. When I lived in Vermont though, we hardly EVER missed a day of school. They were always ready for snow. It could've snowed several feet, and my brothers and I would be waiting at the bottom of my driveway for the bus. In regards to the hurricane, i've only experienced Isabel, we got 40mhp winds and 70mph gusts, but that was the extent of that. We lost power for over a week. I'm so obsessed with hurricanes, and i've never even directly experienced one. Oh well.
naturalmystic Reviewed by naturalmystic on . Hurricanes: Your experiences What's the strongest hurricane to hit where you're staying at? The first time I visited my Brother, after he moved to Virginia Beach, there was hurricane out to sea and the waves were 10 ft. I've been through more than a few since I moved here. They're pretty cool. A Category 3 was the strongest. Hurricane Floyd hit Virginia Beach, directly, and a little town, 45 minutes inland, flooded like New Orleans, maybe worse. Franklin, VA. Rating: 5
