You have to be careful around those seawalls though. There were always some idiots who would walk along those seawalls at the height of a storm. Should you slip and fall on the wrong side of it, you are a goner, nothing can save you. The 1978 storm was the most extreme I ever saw in person. Entire neighborhoods in Revere were under water.
3.000 vehicles stranded on Rt. 128. I was delivering milk in the Lynn area the day after. First stop (Clifton Sq. news) sold 80 cases in one hour. Lots of stories, praise God
