At one point in the storm a large propane tank, which had broken away from a home, washed up against a living room window. I worked alongside my friends to push the tank, which was still spewing propane gas from a broken valve, away from the house to prevent it from causing an explosion. Outside the entire waterfront was in a state of complete chaos as the wind howled and debris sailed through the air. We peeked through cracks in the boarded up windows to see several sailboats and power boats washing up onto the shore.
One of the sailboats that I saw belonged to a couple from Georgia whom I'd visited with earlier that week. I'd had dinner aboard their small boat and now it was just a wreck, broken apart on the rocks. The wind howled and we could see roofs of homes begin to flutter, as if levitated by a magician's wand, before they began to rise and fly away like frisbees across the wide harbor, where they joined others to form a giant floating raft of broken lumber.
The eye of the storm came later that afternoon and for about half an hour it was dead calm. People filled the streets to survey the damage and to see what they could salvage of their homes and boats. For some of them there was little of value left to save.
All along the harbor were dozens of large boats, sitting like some kind of beached whales in the middle of the street. I wondered at that point what had happened to my own small sailboat, now my only home, yet I knew that it would be several days before I'd be able to get back up to the spot where I'd left it. The second half of hurricane Floyd was not quite as bad as the first, however when the wind changed direction it began blowing the water into the harbor, which created a high tide that began to float some of the boats which had been tossed up onto the shore.
Many of the boats were washed back out into the middle of the anchorage, where they eventually sank. Looking out from our vantage point up on the second floor balcony there were countless sailboat masts littering the harbor and no doubt there were many other power boats now sunken below the waves as well.
After the second half of the storm had passed and as night fell, I helped Chris and his family clean up the mess inside and outside of their home. They'd been one of the lucky ones, losing only a few shingles, as many other homes in the town were totally leveled. The next morning I was finally able to catch a ride with Chris in his dinghy up to where I'd left my little sailboat in the mangroves. Arriving at my boat I found it was left mostly unscathed and I was very relieved.
