If you want pics, best bet is to go on Ebay and look under Hurricane 1938 book. They have a couple with pics just from RI.

I was wondering if there are any photos available from this hurricane. My day was a big part of the cleanup and he passed away in 1975. His name was Armand Giammarco and I would love any photos you could provide. Thank you!!

  • No, it's probably from some stealth tax HIKE that we don't know about.
  • Yes, things have been awful for awhile, and they're finally getting better.
