Oh, and as it turns out, the one I experienced was the one the movie "The Perfect Storm" was made about.

I was in Connecticut for Sub School in the Navy when that one hit. I remember a wave that hit and severely damaged the old lighthouse. Prior to that you used to be able to go out and take a tour. After it was closed down. I never went before and I have always regretted that. I love history, so there was a little piece I missed out on.

As for the guys up there, good luck and I hope this passes without any damage.
