HURRICANE FREDERIC...PICKING UP THE PIECES September 1979 Mobile Alabama
In 1979 Frederic was the worst hurricane to hit Mobile since 1926.
I lived in Mobile from 1955 to 1975 and never experienced any major hurricane.
Then later came Ivan(2004) and Katrina(2005) both of which hit Mobile hard. http://www.hurricanecity.com/city/mobile.htm
