Noth Weymouth, MA

I do remember Hurricane Carol. I was living in Noth Weymouth, MA, with my mother and father. I was 8 years old. I remember the howling winds blowing through the front door, the sound was errie, trees were bending over, shingles flying off roof tops. it was a haunting sound.

I think it started around 10 am or 11 a.m My dad worked for R. H. Whites as a rug manager in deptment store. He had to go to Worchester that afternoon after Carol left to help in warehouse which had been flooded.

We lost are electricity for three or four days. We cooked breakfast out on grill, as well as other meals. It was a storm I well remember. I will never forget the sounds - being a young boy I am sure I was scared. In the eveving my mom and I went outside to see the damage. You could smell the broken trees as they were lying everywhere.
