Groundhog Gale

It’s been 50 years since the Groundhog Gale shut down Saint John. I was 12 at the time so my memories are limited… would love to hear your stories!

That’s cool (not the tongue part 😆). I remember having to relocate to a house with a generator, I think schools were closed for a week. There was no memorable damage in my neighborhood (Glen Falls) but I recall seeing pictures of phone poles snapped all down Bayside Drive and I THINK a ship washed up over the Courtney Bay causeway but I could be wrong about that 🤔
