2003 was nasty,yes, also remember that there were 25 years of technological advances between them.
In 1978 they knew it was coming..2 major storms back to back, just one of them sat here and didn't move.
I had a house right on Salem,Mass harbor then and was a "new Dad"..
Oldest was 7 months old then.Had waves breaking against the side of the house..Fun night..Went to work in the am and took me an hour to walk 2 city blocks..7ft drifts in the street, hoping from porch to porch to get by them.
It was one hell of a week..
