Busses couldn’t leave until the tide dropped and forget about parents in cars and station wagons in the days before SUVs. I remember being stuck for hours at mandalay elementary in wantagh as a 5th grader. Not to mention the winds were on par with sandy. That roar you never forget of hurricane force gusts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember walking through flooded streets with tree branches snapping all around to get to school (uphill of course) Yeah, we didn’t get as many days off for storms in the old days. I can still remember walking home from high school during the February 1983 blizzard. We all thought it was really cool. But the March 1984 big coastal flooding event may have been the wildest. Long Beach High School is right on Reynolds Channel in Lido Beach. The storm surge came over the bulkhead and flooded the whole area around the school. Waves were actually pushing into the parking lot and several teachers had to move there cars. The huge windows were flexing in with gusts to 70-75 off the bay. Then the power went out and they sent us home. Probably the heaviest wind driven sleet I have ever walked home from school in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in 4th grade during February 1983 and it was my first year on Long Island, the storm started on a Friday right before midwinter recess and we walked home from school, getting released an hour early lol. I don't have any memory of March 1984 for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first memory of coastal flooding was in Dec 73. Detroit got a great snowstorm and we got 75 mph winds and major coastal flooding. The school bus was driving through all the sand left in the streets of the West End when the ocean met the bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
