That was a good one. I remember power flashes being seen and losing power as well.
The cutters in Jan '96 were pretty wild. We had damage in both. I think I told you this story. I was working at Stop & Shop at the time. I was bringing in the carriages (I volunteered to weenie out) and the wind was ripping the sign apart. An old lady came out with her carriage and just got blown over. I remember laughing really hard because it happened so quick..but then I realized she was not getting up. At least I helped her lol. I think this was the last in the series of cutters.
