I was living in Fairfield, Maine and working in Lewiston.

I didn't really notice the storm paid it no mind.

Meanwhile, my parents on Cape Cod were in a fight for their lives (almost).

Meanwhile, my parents on Cape Cod were in a fight for their lives (almost).

They must have lived on the Upper Cape, somewhere around Sandwich or Falmouth.

In the Mid-Cape area, Barnstable and Yarmouth, we got a "mere" 15" and that all in one day. The storm raged on off-Cape for another full day.

The Lower Cape (actually the forearm and fist, which most people logically think would be the Upper Cape) got an inch or two before bright sunshine burst fourth. All the low lands were flooded out and there were super winds and dire warnings on the radio and TV to, "stay away from Coast Guard Beach in Eastham."

Warnings! Oh boy! By the time we got there there were at least 2000 people up on the bluff cheering the losing fight the bath house was fighting against the giant waves.
