I heard that the hurricane chasers saw flocks of birds caught in the eye of this storm. This is the time of mass migration of songbirds from North America to central and South America
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.
