It was 50 years ago the Columbus Day Storm happened. I remember walking home with Regina and we would lean back into the wind. Our Girl Scouts meeting had been canceled. It was pretty exciting for us kids, we got eat pancakes for dinner (how exotic is that?) and camp out in the living room in front of the fireplace. The big cherry tree in the backyard did blow down and crash through our parents' bedroom window. I don't think our parents thought the storm was fun like we did. So what do you remember about the Columbus Day Storm?
