 | | On the morning of August 31st, 1954, Hurricane Carol, the most destructive storm to hit southern New England since the Great Hurricane of ?8, came crashing ashore on the Connecticut coast. |
 | | Edna, following a track similar to Carol, raced toward southern New England just 10 days later, thankfully veering far enough east to spare the region another direct hit. |
 | | Two hurricanes in such quick succession seemed unlucky, if not improbable, but as luck would have it, the same fate awaited southern New England just a year later (1955—Hurricanes Connie & Diane). |
