Your view?
Did you witness Hurricane Carol in 1954? Tell me about it! And if you have a picture you're willing to share, that's all the better. I'd love to hear from you and I'll add what you have to say to our "Your View" pages. What's more, Charles Orloff is doing a commemorative book on Carol for Blue Hill Observatory and would love to hear from you as well. So if you have something to share, please:

Send me email, Greg Stone

Or send email to Charles Orloff at Blue Hill Observatory.

Or send a single email to us both at once.

I just found your website on Hurricane Carol as I was reminiscing with a friend about hurricanes, since Isabel may be approaching.

I was nearly 4 years old when Carol struck. I was at the Mass. General Hospital with my mother and grandmother; we were taking my grandmother to a doctor's appointment. They didn't realize how bad the storm was going to be, I guess. We must have taken either a taxi or the subway there.

We had no idea how we were going to get home, when a taxi driver came into the lobby and asked if anyone was going to West Roxbury. That was where we lived! The cab driver lived on our block! My mother made me lie on the floor of the cab, in case a tree fell on us.

I was really young, but I remember lying on the floor of the cab.

Great photos on your website.
