I lived in Newport, NC, during the mid 70’s. Only had one weather scare. Don’t remember the name or date. Husband called in for duty. He did bring me tape to keep the breaking glass into the house. I was very scared, this being my one and only hurricane. Next morning the wind was severe but the sun was shining.
70’s was fairly quiet for hurricanes.......There were some, but not many. The Sun must have been in a low sunspot cycle of 11 years duration.......................
