I was on a Carnival cruise in the Gulf of mexico in '98 during Hurricane George.
That was interesting. At one point the captain told us it was 300 nautical miles away, and I thought to myself, "how fast does a hurricane travel?" Wondering if it decided to change direction, how much time we'd have to beat a hasty retreat.
Judging by how rough the sea was when it was that far away, I'd hate to see what it's like at say, 50 miles away.
It's a really weird feeling being on a ship that big that is moving around that much. It's a bit like a smooth earthquake, only more nausea inducing.
Not sure if it was that ride, or the 7.0 'quake in Seattle 2001 that was the bigger rush.
