A June Nor 'Easter?
The storm was a big one, and a few old fishing cottages in Chatham didn’t survive the storm. While their beach front had been eroding for years, it was still sad to see them go. These cottages were some of the last in New England that were on an island, really a spit of beach cut off by water channels on each side. They had no electricity or running water. Only the sun and surf touched their cottages for many generations.
Thankfully our house survived unscathed. Being on a 40 foot bluff I’m sure helped quite a bit. We escaped with just a soggy lawn, and kids that wanted to know “when can we go to the beach”?
