Woods Hole — September, 1954 
The large schooner was hurled by hurricane winds and flood water 
far onto the beach, but the Japanese Black Pines, 
though flooded, still survive

to “Plantings and Lawns 
Carol and Edna were about the most unwelcome 
visitors we’ve ever had on Cape Cod. Many water- 
front properties were flooded, and even far inshore 
the storm-driven salt winds lashed ornamental plants 
and native growth. Tree damage was mostly in 
breakage of top branches. In smaller trees, flowering 
shrubs, roses, vines and hedges the younger top 
growth was killed back to an extent varying with 
exposure. Surface foliage on exposed evergreens was 
badly seared and in some cases permanent disfigura- 
tion has occurred. Broad-leaf evergreens suffered 
badly in many cases.
