Napatree-Watch Hill the day after. On Wednesday, September 21, 1938, the sea was running high and small craft warnings were in effect. But as late as mid-afternoon, there was no alert that an extreme hurricane was sprinting a mile a minute up the Atlantic seaboard. Like a giant Cyclops, the maverick storm had a single, intense eye, and it was fixed on the Northeast. All that was left of Westhampton Beach. A 10,000-ton tender interrupted train service in New London, Connecticut. MEET THE AUTHOR I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, hearing stories about the Great Hurricane of 1938. To New Englanders-and New Yorkers-that maverick storm took on near mythical dimensions. The tales my grandaunts and uncles would tell-my Aunt Lally coming home from work at the telephone company in downtown Providence in a rowboat, the Higgins family washed out to sea in their Misquamicut cottage, my grandmother's best friend stepping out on the porch of her house and never seen again-were the impetus for Sudden Sea.
