My father's side of the family settled in Provience around 1910 and were there for this hurricane. My paternal grandfather (1907-2003) typed up an account of what he experienced & saved the Providence newspapers about the hurricane--I still have them all, yellow w/age. There aren't too many people around any more who remember this hurricane or how bad it was. Thanks for the upload!

The only thing I had ever heard of this hurricane was that it damaged Katharine Hepburn's house in Connecticut. Never knew it caused so much damage as Hurricane Irene. My prayers go out to the people affected by Hurricane Irene.

There wasn't much technology to warn people in this time either.
-
I have the original news book with all the pictures of the disaster. What made this the worst was because no one was prepared.

Irene is nothing more than a tropical storm compared to this one eyed monster. I thought it was a ct4 though my grandparents used to camp at the Charlestown Breachway in RI and then we started going around the late 60's but I can remember at low tide seeing concrete stairs from some of the mansions that got destroyed

what category hurricane was it?

I am from Connecticut and I shudder because my grandfather was killed by a 1938. It somehow got into the house in the night and tore the place up. It bit him and he died before a doctor could arrive.

My great grandparents were in Providence as the flood came in about 3:30PM that day. They watched from the second floor in a building downtown (from the Outlet I think) as the water rose up and flooded the ground floor to the ceilings. It is interesting to see what happened on film!
