I can vividly recall hurricanes up here in New England in the 50's

One of them was probably Hurricane Edna, which struck New England on September 11, 1954. In his essay "The Eye of Edna," noted writer E. B. White described riding out this storm on the coast of Maine.

"Carol" and "Diane" are the ones I can best recall.I was a little kid back then but one of my most vivid memories of childhood involves seeing my Dad pull into the driveway in his blue Oldsmobile during one of them.

My mother was in a panic during that storm worrying about my Dad and seeing him pull in was a moment of great relief and happiness for both of us.

You'll also have to include Hurricane Carol, which hit CT in 1954 also...
