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.

Narragansett, RI

Hi there.

I'm 55 years old now.When Hurricane Carol struck, we were living at Bonnet Shores in Narragansett, RI.

My father had the "bright" idea to drive up to the city right in the teeth of the storm. Our car conked out in front of the Wickford Middle School. I was 5 years old at the time. We found our way into the Wickford Middle School. We rode out the storm there.

I went to pieces when I saw our car being covered by flood waters. That was the first real scare I had in my life.
