The 53rd anniversary of August 3, 1970, approaches.
Burned into my memory. . . . . .
Up until CELIA hit, our “media” were calling it “a minimal hurricane; highest winds about 75mph near center”.
Three hours later, the top of Spohn was gone; floors 10, 9, & 8 were completely blown-off, just orange-primed Iron I-beams remaining.
I recall a dark green four-door 1964 Chevy BelAir sedan traveling horizontally through the air, some 40’ above the ground.
