~~Hurricane Belle~~
Winds racing across the dunes , sand traveled with each spray. The windows on the upper hallway were reinforced with broken boards, I found in the cellar, Hurricane Belle was arming herself know. This night I gave my word to sit aside you my dear friend, Mrs. Beale I will never leave your side>that night the old mansion creaked , most rooms were saturated,,there was no time to panic,, we had each other & that was all we knew”
Hurricane hit Eastern Long Island I was at Grey Gardens, ,,Jerry Torre
