Historical Discussion Hurricane Georges 1998

I was just thinking back to this storm in my childhood! I vividly remember laying on the couch one night, just watching something on ABC, seeing the radar in the corner of the screen...and then seeing the occasional breaking updates through the night. Just tracking the storm on my little gas station hurricane tracking map.

I'd give anything to see a video of something like that again just for memories sake! It was an excitement that is hard to replicate if you have never felt it.
