hurricane ike

Hurricane Florence has been dominating the news this week.  The storm grew to a Category 4 a few days ago and then barreled onto the east coast as a Category 2 storm.  Hurricanes, luckily, are not something we usually have to deal with here in the tristate area.  However, ten years ago, we did.  It was September 14th, 2008 when remnants of Hurricane Ike blasted their way to the WBKR listening area

I don’t remember very many really bad storms as a child. We’d have tornado warnings and the sirens would sound. That would frighten the life out of me, but then we’d head over to my grandmother’s house and go down into her basement and then nothing would materialize. And when I was kid, I LOVED snowstorms. But I’m all grown up now. And I have grown-up attitudes about some of these nasty storms. In
