The house I grew up in in Weekapaug has the 1938 hurricane high water mark engraved in a stone next to our house, the old Winapaug House on Shore Road (1A). A father road a door from his attic on Atlantic Ave with his two kids; his wife was lost. He said he knew the water was deep when they floated over the power lines on Shore Road.
Another family on Nap road their overturned roof across Little Narraganset Bay to Barn Island in the dark. I think two contractors had a similar story. The remains of some of those homes are still in the woods near my brothers home.
