NE Hurricanes
One of my earliest memories is of my friends and I braving the winds of Hurricane Carol in 1954. I was 6 years old. And also Hurricane Edna, two weeks later. I believe these two storms caused the City of Providence to build the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier a few years later. The older folks around here used to say that the Hurricane of 1938 came roaring straight up Narragansett Bay, wreaking havoc all along the way. There were some amazing stories of survival that day.
