I just can't imagine having a cat 5 hurricane sitting over land for more than an entire day - unreal, God bless those people.

A non-event here fortunately (Middleburg) but we are a ways from the coast. Seemed like most of the rain bands were squished between the eye and the coast; not much made it on land.
 
Tell you what,
I moved to Florida in the 1980's for college. My first hurricane was Andrew. We went down to feed the volunteers and first responders with the Domino's pizza mobile unit.
I will never forget what it looked like, smelled like and what the air felt like.
They were pulling bodies out of the rubble for what seemed like days... It was really life changing stuff.

I missed Andrew, I was living in Atlanta at the time. I had a number of friends that went down for the cleanup and a couple that stayed down that way for a couple years in construction.

I think I was a freshman in high school and my church went down to help clean up down there. The older kids were more privy to things like what you saw. The younger ones, like myself, helped clean debris from less hectic areas.
