The winds were so bad. My uncle had a row boat out in the street
and the ocean came up that far and he and other's were rowing up and
down the streets. My grandmother opened the window to yell at
him and her living room curtains were caught by the wind and torn
right off the window and flew around the telephone pole outside.
They hung there tattered and torn for years. That story still
sticks in my mind. The bldg is now gone I wonder if the curtains
fragments are still there.  |
YES!!!!! These are the kinds of stories I want to hear. Stories of old.
You just never think of The East Coast when you think of Hurricanes, I just think of the Gulf Coast... but you on the East Coast get them as well! By the way, I love that movie "The Perfect Storm" I am always totally enthralled with it when I watch it.
