The hurricane shattered the coast from New York to Boslon, and spawned a tidal wave carried with tlat it mmt of the storm's victims in Rhode Island and Cape Cod. Winds of up to lB0 miles an hour were experienced along this shoreline, but 186 miles an hour was officially recorded at the Harvard Observalory at Blue Hill.

Finally, the Red Cmss set the death toll at 682, with property damage estimated as high as million. $500 Madison's shoreline was completely changed. Only five cottages were left at Circle Beach, but these were badly damaged. Even substantial homes on the waterfront at East and West Wharf werc either moved bodily or smashed in0o matchsticks.

He has vivid recollectioru of the worst disaster he encotur0ercd in his 3l-years as a selectman, recounting them t}te other daY in his home on Pearl Street. "We had had continuous rain for several daYs, and I was out with Harry Butch Page Putting out warning road signs for flooding. We were standing in the dootway of Page's Hard' ware, when I saw a huge elm on the Green, waving. "Some instinct told me that this was SoinB to be more than an'unusual'storm. I knew it was going to be like nothing we had ever seen l'3fore." Acting on his premonition, the First Selectman went in0o the store and bought up every cnoss cut and bow saws and axes in slock. it turned out, we needed everyone.

We shouted "to make sure that we had rounded everyoneup and carried them to safety." The next day, Mr. Hull took in the tree devastation in the town - the Green in shambles: 3o Miss Elizabeth Davis was also Guilford's historic Green. At her present home in North Street, she said that she and her sister were then in the familY home at I Boston Street. "l suppose we were among the few property owners who had insurance at that time.
