The coast actually was close to jacking here. It was more from marshfield south that had some issues. I think Logan had at least 17”. Had almost 20 here. The tides were the biggest issue. Pretty much unprecedented flooding, surge higher than blizzard of 78. Luckily we didn’t have the wave action otherwise the coast would have been devastated.
Unfortunately the real devastation happened two months later. One of the most powerful nor’easters I’ve witnessed. Was mostly rain though.
