That is a terrific story, Clay. We went through a great storm in 1987 and that was very frightening so I can imagine how you felt during your hurricane. It is just as well you were able to warn your dad. A very well written and gripping piece.

PHIL! Great piece! Loved how the story pulls you in and moves along at a quick clip.
Thanks,
Clay

Well done!!..very interesting read as always..well presented too..I LIKED it so much..keep it up and thanx for sharing this magnificent piece.

That’s absolutely terrifying!! What a story…so glad you came through it OK, I love the description of the radio by the way. Keep these coming Phill, they are great anecdotes (and think about putting them in a book!)

I enjoyed this so much! I can distinctly remember each of your tales. I wonder where that yellow car fender went! Perhaps it was from an old state vehicle! Maybe it was from a cab!!! When you start hearing that tin go, it is bad!!! I so like your tales! LizP.S. I agree with my kind friend Kate!! I wish I had a series of books with your tales!

I told you Phil, I can get all your stories on a disk and send it to get published. It will be cool. Tales of Life by Phil Senter. What ya think? Give me a call. Patti

An enthralling anecdote! It just goes to show that being inquisitive as a child pays off!

I enjoyed the read Phil. In reading I was again reminded how quickly adults dismiss the actions and words of children. Children have fought wars and created whole societies and still we need proof of what they say. I’m glad your family listened, it would have been sad in more than one way if they hadn’t. Thanks for sharing.

Well told. Been there, done that. Hurricane Charlie put my house in the landfill. Rode out Frances in a pickup and Jeanne in a leaky motel.
