I remember Hurricane Gloria as well, even though I was just 4. I lived in Peabody, Massachusetts. Ironically, the eye moved through East Longmeadow, where I currently live.

Some call Gloria a flop, but that was because the media hyped her to be the East Coast Armageddon. She did have the potential to be destructive if she had struck at high tide.

But even far from the center, Gloria WAS a bad storm. I remember my parents taping up the windows and everything. My dad was on call at the hospital, so my mom stayed home with my older brother and my twin sister. (I'm older by 2 minutes)

Anyway, although we were far from the eye, I think Peabody was in the upper-right quadrant of the storm. I remember the lights constantly flickering on and off. The power would go out for short periods of time. The clouds were dark and moving quickly. There was lots of rain and the wind was blowing hard.

At one point, I remember my mom taking me and my siblings onto the porch. I remember seeing the trees pretty much bending over in the wind. The wind was also whistling through the telephone and electrical wires. The wind was also howling, which scared me. At that point, we went back in the house.

Around my neighborhood, there were tree branches down everywhere. Nearby, a large willow tree fell in somebody's yard.

This is Hurricane Esther of 1961, the first hurricane to be discovered by a weather satellite. Esther formed in the tropical Atlantic and threatened to strike New England as a strong hurricane, but quickly weakened to a tropical storm before making landfall in Maine.

P.S. It is a fuzzy picture, but at least you get to see what meteorogists back then were seeing...A hurricane for the first time on satellite!

Here's the picture:

Here are some more from my collection.

This one is the latest and earliest hurricane to occur in the Atlantic. It became a hurricane on December 30, 1954 and remained a hurricane until January 4, 1955. It's Hurricane Alice!

http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nws/wea01218.htm

This next one is a radar pic of Hurricane Connie from 1955.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/history/connierad.gif

This one is a radar pic of Hurricane Audrey. Not only the only Category 4 hurricane to occur in the Atlantic during June, but also the deadliest U.S. hurricane of the latter half of the 20th Century. Audrey left more than 550 people dead.

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/lch/research/images/audrey.gif

Here is Hurricane Helene from 1958. A borderline Category 3/4, Helene's eye brushed the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nws/images/wea01252.jpg

Here is a pic of Camille as a mere tropical storm in 1969. Also in the pic is the famous seeded Hurricane Debbie, apparently having reintensified after a round of seeding.

http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/roth/images/camilleatl.jpg

Here's Hurricane Emmy and Hurricane Frances doing the Fujiwhara in 1976!

http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nws/wea00489.htm

This has got to be one of the scariest pictures of a hurricane IMHO. It's the Category 5 Hurricane Anita from 1977.

I found this impressive pic of what was a cat 5 hurricane Andrew.


Does anyone else think Andrew looks odd in this picture? He seems kinda oval shaped at the top.

OK, here's a radar pic of the first Atlantic hurricane of the 1960s! It's Hurricane Abby.

http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nws/images/wea01219.jpg

Here's a radar pic of Hurricane Donna about to make landfall on the Florida Keys in 1960.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/history/donna_radar_large.gif

Here's a "chorus line" of hurricanes from 1961! It's Hurricane Anna, Hurricane Betsy, Hurricane Carla, and Hurricane Debbie!

http://history.nasa.gov/SP-168/p8a.jpg

We all know about Carla. But did you know Hurricane Debbie actually made it all the way to Ireland, striking as a Category 1 hurricane?

What the heck! Let's throw in Hurricane Esther! So now that's 5 hurricanes from 1961!

http://history.nasa.gov/SP-168/p9.jpg

Here's Hurricane Ginny from 1963.

http://www.earth.nasa.gov/history/tiros/63tirosvii_19.gif

Here's an interesting pic of Category 4 Hurricane Gladys from 1964.

http://history.nasa.gov/SP-168/p15a.jpg

Hope you like these!

Thank you HurricaneBill for all those radars and pics of past hurricanes.

A member (tropicalweatherwatcher) wants to see pics of hurricane JOAN and the question is if HurricaneBill or other members may have those to share to him and to us as I can't find anything about JOAN.
