Hobby Fan Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Some of my memories: Â Pharaoh Valley houses were new back then. Almost all of them destroyed and the owners sitting in their yards armed. I lived in the McArdle / Airline area. The glowing refinery fires at night when there was no power. Neighbors cooking at our house because we had gas. The east wall at the Firestone store shop at Gulfway Shopping Center falling onto a couple of palm trees leaning them over. The trees were never straightend and years later the trees leaned at about a 45 degree angle for about 8 feet then grew straight up. My dad and I standing under our carport watching stuff fly by then deciding we better get inside! My buddy and I riding our bicycles around the streets having to go around the countless number of fallen trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
