I experienced hurricanes Carol and Donna when I was a child and Bob, Irene, and Sandy as an adult. Carol had the strongest wind. The eye went right over us. Even in the middle of the eye, when the wind dropped,, and the sun came out, the wind was so strong you could lean on it and it would hold you up.
There was a great deal of flooding locally. My dad had to rebuild several of the buildings at his marina, creating some very odd concrete walls in preparation for the next hurricane.
Sandy caused a lot of damage. The storm surge came over the second step of the house, and was so strong it picked up the municipal concrete bench from across the street and deposited it in my front yard. We had to evacuate to my son's house. He had three huge hickory trees all fall down at once and lost power for a week.
I was not born when the worst hurricane to ever hit my town blew down over half the trees in our state and took all the cottages off the the point, including a dance hall and a carousel. Nothing was left but the pole of the carousel which was snapped off. Over 700 people died across the region. Half the trees in all New England were uprooted, so many that this happened:

Lumber was cheap. My dad bought the wood he used to build our house on my grandad' s extra lot.
A great deal of New London burned down.

My parents and grandparents experienced it, and every year on the anniversary told their stories until it almost felt like I had been there too.
