OK, so Gloria was not the disaster she was hyped up to be. But she was still a bad storm. Although I was only 4, I remember Gloria. I remember being frightened by the sound of the wind whistling through the electrical lines. I lived in Peabody, MA at the time. Far from the eye, but in the NE quadrant.

Here are a couple of photos from Hurricane Gloria in 1985.
