In the good old days...the 1950s...the Connecticut shoreline seemed to
get clobbered at least twice a summer by hurricanes.

I don't remember 2 a year but I do remember a few notable hurricanes,
Carol, Connie, Hazel and a few lesser storms that were mostly rain
events.

I think we get more weather damage from Nor'easters that come up the
coastline. They can produce a lot of rain (or snow), high winds and
typically last longer than a hurricane or tropical storm.

The "No Name" or "Perfect Storm" of 1991 did a lot of damage in
Massachusetts and basically shut the east coast down for a week or more.

Then there was last winter. A major snow storm every 5 days for over a
month. Yuck.
