Yes, I was in Chu Lai when Typhoon Hester roared thru. It was like nothing I had ever experienced. Wet and cold and no where to hide. We waited it out in water filled bunkers, but didn't stay in those any longer than we had to cause of the water and rats seeking safety. The eye was the eeriest thing I've ever felt in the out of doors. Completely quiet and uncommonly still, but only for a short while and then the fury of the storm resumed.
