COVID - I remember following it before it hit the USA thinking this isn't going to get over here I got fired two weeks after too.


Hurricane Wilma - South Florida's version of Katrina, but not as destructive, and happened weeks after too. Didn't have power for three weeks, tree branch slammed into the house and cut my mom's leg, our big tree uprooting and falling into the street, miles long wait for gas, eating the same nasty BBQ chicken for a week. We haven't had a storm that powerful since.

The 2020 George Floyd protests/riots that had every city looking like an end of the world movie, cars on fire, police in riot gear, city wide curfews in major cities, businesses being looted like never seen in broad day light, cars being stolen off the lot..I WAS AMAZED and I’m surprised no one really talks about just how crazy that summer really was..
