I appreciate all comments guys and think my father would be very pleased as well to know that his old home movies are being shared with so many.

Islip Terrace guy, again. I guess that was Hurricane Connie or Diane. I remember going with my father, not that I was much help at that age, to pump out basements.....mostly south of the Montauk.

@The26grover You really got me thinking...I can't remember the name of this Hurricane, but I'm leaning towards Diane.

@grazcoolguy Thanks guys, this is all about my father. I had so little to do with it but I do remember being in the back seat when we went under the fallen tree.

@RCAdamsMG It was Diane, but neither Diane nor Connie were hurricanes when they got here. They both moved inland and became tropical storms.
