Navy Barge Rips Loose In Hurricane Flossy
Two Panama City men, Charlie Currenton and James Robinson, told of riding out hurricane Flossy aboard a small Navy mines defense laboratory barge in the Gulf of Mexico. The 9 by 110 foot craft faced 5 foot waves and 90 mph winds before being cast ashore near Panama City. Rescued after midnight, the crew endured hours of fear while staying below deck as debris and gear ripped free, finally reaching shore by line hand over hand.
