Two heartbreakers come to mind. The man who watched his children in a school bus get swept out to sea at mackerel cove and the lighthouse keeper of whale rock light that watched from shore as the lighthouse was taken out by waves with his family inside.

So you are right Mike. My Narrow River story takes place within shouting distance of Whale Rock.

No boat, back in the suds.

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.
