Good story Hady,

Hurricane Donna was in 1960. We had a hurricane David that did not hit sxm directly in 1980 and a week later hurricane Frederick that did hit. That picture could be from 1980 but like I said it was not hurricane Donna. Hurricane Donna in 1960 caused massive damage and was Louis strength, back then most buildings were wood and shingles. Donna did join the Great Bay sea and the pond.
Frederick caused flooding in much of philipsburg, lower end Backsteet was so flooded that a woman had to be rowed to safety with her belongings from her house in a small boat. The worst part of Philipsburg flooded was from Jump Up casino that joins with back street and the now RBTT bank.
It is only a matter of time before we either feel the effects of the diminished size of the once Great Salt Pond or we will have to hear the nasty truth from an insurance company, whatever the case, let it be known that it is man that has put us in this precarius situation not mother nature.
