in a past life, I was myself

I gave my father a talking to

That one you have listed as location unknown......that's Watch Hill RI, 5 miles from my house.
If you ever read the book The Wind that Shook the World they talk about that area extensively.
They talk about my grandfather in that book.
My grandfather Edward Billings was on that spit of land when the wave came in, he wrapped his arms around a telephone pole and hung on.
Ended up 3 miles from where he started with his eyes and ears full of sand.....but alive.

Tthe Blue Hill Observatory outside Boston measured sustained winds of 121 miles per hour and gusts as strong as 186 miles per hour.
The storm surge caused the most damage. The storm came ashore at the time of the high tide, which added to the surge of water being pushed ahead by the hurricane. The water rose 14 to 18 feet along much of the Connecticut coast, and 18 to 25 feet from New London, Connecticut to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Seaside homes all along Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island were submerged under 12 to 15 feet of water, and Providence, Rhode Island was inundated with 20 feet. Whole communities were swept out to sea.
