Ceiba, Puerto Rico. My GMC Jimmy and 1971 VW Bug made it through with minor paint damage. The front of the building was on the leeward side of the prevailing winds. A neighbor who lived across the street (Nimitz Drive) took the image.
Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, September 18, 1989. Hurricane Hugo swept through the Virgin Islands and the eastern half of Puerto Rico. Here’s a view of our on-base house at the height of the storm. The carport roof had blown off, but more importantly, our living room window had blown in, sending debris throughout our house. Shards of glass were embedded in our interior concrete walls! Fortunately, we had evacuated to Florida less than 36 hours before.
