John,

Soutern New England was spared the hurricane except for south coastal
beach erosion. One of the 17 fatalities did occur here in Rhode Island,
however. A 66 year old Massachusetts man was swept from the rocks in
Narragansett, where he had gone with his wife to view, with thousands of
others, the huge swells and surf. Indeed the surf from the storm was
such that surfers from up and down the east coast flocked to southern
Rhode Island for the opportunity to test their skills. I know some
arrowhead hunters in North Carolina who will be cleaning up from the
beach erosion there.
In fact, to facilitate arrowhead hunting my wife was actually hoping for
a direct hit. I reminded her that with no roof over our heads, and our
vehicles floating down Narragansett Bay, I'll take my chances with a
sunny day thank you :-)

Best wishes,
Charlie
