Absolutely fascinated by the local color and history reported in this story. Great job by the writer. For those who think other storms have been bigger or more newsworthy, maybe someone else will do the research and write another story. Don't take away from this one.

I have lived all my life with stories of the 1933 storm. My mother was 5 at the time and lived on Hog island. She remembers taking shelter in the Coast Guard Station and not being able to save her "bitties"(baby chics). I want to thank you for doing this story. She and her family finnaly ended up in Oyster where they made their home. Our family still lives on the Eastern Shore.

How could this have happened in 1933. We didn't have global warming yet and George Bush wasn't born? Who did they blame?

article Pilot. Very interesting. Great Job.

A fascinating story. I love the way the writer sets the moment. What a picture with the flag pole sitting and the fellow buried under the sand and the different families. I can just see this. And you can see how the warnings for storm destruction are there. What a difference between the 1933 and now. (Spurs a HuGE appreciation of Dopplar Radar & all that.)

Also enjoyed the photos and illustrations. Looking forward to the next installment.

cyclone rotating clockwise, not counterclockwise as in our neck of the woods.

Hazel was a big one, in 1957. Pilot...how do you miss that?

Check out the suits and ties in the row boat, how times have changed. Now we've got "pants on the floor". Makes you wonder what's next.
