Labor Day and hurricanes seem to go hand to hand in Florida

There seems to be a tradition of hurricanes and Labor Day over the years. Once again this year , a hurricane name Dorian approached Florida and caused havoc. My first memory of Florida hurricanes was in 1979. From the map at left, you can see how Hurricane David passed by Jacksonville, just a few miles off the coast. David stands out in my memory because we were in South Carolina for Labor Day weekend. We were trying to make it home before the hurricane hit, and that was a bad decision. Because we had a flat tire at 11 PM on I-95 just north of Jacksonville. We did not realize the worst of the hurricane was passing by offshore at that very momemt. I had to change the flat in the blowing wind and rain! The highway patrol parked his car to shine light so that I could see to change the tire! Hurricane David would make official landfall just south of Savannah, Georgia. We ended up spending the night in our church and getting no sleep LOL As you can see below, Hurricane Dorian came very close to Jacksonville again this week. There were several other Labor Day hurricane stories i could tell but this was the most memorable! Josh was 18 months and Stephen was two months and we all survived Hurricane David!
