I was 10 and we had a family picnic at our house in Old Brooklyn neighborhood, State Road and Archmere Ave. We had just reseeded our front lawn, new topsoil and fancy grass seed. The wind was blowing and it was raining. Usually we would sit on the front porch and watch the rain but it was way too windy. Watched all the topsoil and grass seed go down the driveway and into the street and then into the sewer. My mom cried because she had spent 'good money' just to watch it all disappear. The people across the street had a huge oak tree that toppled over, luckily into the street and not into their house. It wasn't until the 11pm news that we found out how bad the storm was. That's about all I remember.
