Hurricane Barrier Ready for Action

Sunset at the Hot Club

That awesome piece of landscape sculpture, the Providence Hurricane Barrier, is on standby according to the ProJo. GoLocalProvidence has a post by John Ghiorse on the history and function of the hurricane barrier. John himself is a Rhode Island historical treasure, The Ghiorse Factor will be off the scale this weekend.

  1. “D” cell batteries-hope you all have some.
    I’m also recharging my portable DVD player battery-we can watch “The Perfect Storm”if we lose power.(Just kidding).
    I remember Carol and Hazel way back when I was a little guy in NYC.I’ll still take a hurricane over the tornadoes we were always sweating in the Midwest.
    Frank Cascione made a boo-boo on air yesterday when he said a tornado raises the pressure outside so houses implode.
    Just theopposite-they lower the pressure to almost vacuum and the house explodes-opening the windows may provide some relief,but not enough to count on.
