I remember Hurricane Gloria in 1985. I had just gotten married 2 months prior.  It was really not a big deal in Stamford.  The storm did not last long at all.  It started after 7:00 AM and the sun was out by 4:00 PM.  We lost power overnight, I guess because they were fixing some down wires and they shut off all the power in the area.  When we woke up the next day the power was restored.  

The Ice Storm of 1973 and the March 2010 storm were the worst storms I have been through having lived in Stamford all my life.

My father was in High School during the 1938 Hurricane and if he told me once he told me 1,000 times how he had to swim home from school because all the streets had flooded.
