I've been through 3 of them. Gloria in 1986, Bob in 1989 (I think) and the one that hit Southeast PA in the fall of 1999 I think. Nothing too special. Insane amount of wind and rain, losing power, watching trees bend over nearly in half, hearing the roar of the storm. Never saw any tornados or anything too spectacular, though the eye of Gloria went right over my house when that one hit. I remember the sky being black and the wind going insane, then nothing. Stepped outside and there was blue sky up above and green/black sky all around whipping like crazy. Then, just as soon as the rain/wind/storm stopped it picked up again and nearly lifted my tiny little 6 year old body off of the ground.
