Yes. A few of my co-workers and I were in Taipei Taiwan when a cyclone hit. The hotel we were staying at was super prepared, boarded up all the windows and sandbagged all the doors. We were mostly stuck inside for a day and a half until the storm subsided, though we did venture out to walk to the customer site we were working at, spending a few hours there making sure our computer system was okay. In hindsight, that was pretty stupid, with the heavy rain and wind, and debris flying all over the place.

Yes, two within ten days last fall. I live in a high rise condo that was built to withstand up to 150 mph winds/rain and it did. Many many single family homes didn't survive due to the wind and flooding.

Hurricane Gloria happened in sept 1985. We were without electricity for 10 days. My son needed daily treatment for asthma and we took him the fire department so we could plug in his nebulizer. He thought it was cool to hang out at the fire department.

Two years ago I was. It never got super dangerous, but we were tracking it really closely. The winds got up to 60 miles an hour with gusts of up to 80 or 90. We were on the beach and the sand was blowing so hard it felt like your legs were getting sandblasted. But it was a lot of fun.

Yup been through several hurricanes. Jumped out of a plane into a tropical storm in Karst geography once upon a time. Got through all of it just fine. Hurricanes aren't necessarily scary. Tornados are scary.

I was walking outside one day and then a hurricane came from nowhere and the rain and wind... I had to go into the grocery store until it was over.

When Katrina hit 20 years ago, we got spanked pretty hard. And we're at least a 6 to 8 hour drive from the east coast!!
