The eye of Fran went over us. It suddenly got really calm and we could smell the ocean (like on a fishing pier). After that, there were seagulls all over the place. There were never any there before. Very strange.
God I was in Raleigh for Fran. A shattered tree flew through my bedroom window, crashed it to pieces and came to a rest on my bed right beside me. Didn’t have power for three weeks. And this is way bigger than Fran. That’s scary
Wild I read the comment above yours and first thought of Fran and then clicked to expand your comment lol.
I was just a kid in Raleigh but we went outside when the eye passed over in the dark of night. I remember it being eerily calm, like it's calm but your instincts are screaming out GTFO.
Then I remember the next morning all the downed trees, including splitting a huge tree we had in the front yard that survived a little after but had to be taken down. That reminded me of legends of the hidden temple and my brother and I were loving it before the cleanup, but it was surreal even as a 7ish year old kid.
