Remember those days ?? Good ol kerosiene. No idea if I'm even CLOSE on the spelling of that btw...

"to homie above" (who DID say he wasnt scared)
i understand the romance of the storm as well, growing up these were seasonal. Betsy is still one of the baddest to ever hit.
When all of the damage in the USA was totaled, it came to more than $1 billion in 1965 dollars, making Betsy the USA's first billion dollar hurricane. If you factor in inflation and put Betsy's cost into Year 2000 dollars, it cost $8.4 billion, which ties it for third in the list of the nation's most expensive hurricanes.
