A survivor recounts the devastation of a Category 5 hurricane, detailing 165 mph winds and 5-foot flood surges that left 250,000 homeless and 150,000 homes destroyed. Looters hit the Anderson home but generous strangers offered aid during a harrowing escape and trek to Missouri. Brantley plans active, long term community involvement after relocating.
