I've sat through a hurricane before - and like you say because we don't get them often we just weren't prepared for it. Some rural areas were without power for nearly a month after it hit and there was no infrastructure in place to arrange getting the roads cleared - everyone with a chainsaw went out to help which is great, everyone really pulled together, but it took a while to do it.
I found it scary and exhilarating at the same time - I think fear and excitement are 2 sides of the same coin.
