Darn it Gretchen - I remember that book very well. My parents had a copy of it too, and I can remember as a kid, looking with fascination at all the pictures. Somehow, it disappeared during one of the moves that they made later in life. When I was visiting my brother a couple of weeks ago, I asked him if he had it, but he doesn't. I wish it was still somewhere in the family.

The earliest hurricanes I remember were Carole & Diane (I think), which were back to back sometime in the early 50's. Fortunately I've never been thru any like the one in 38.
