I just received this link which points to an old newsreel covering
the Hurricane of '38 (35MB for the DivX version, but worth it IMO):

Very interesting stuff. PBS (WGBY) just did a special on the floods of
'36 a few months ago. The building I'm located in was in about six feet
of water, and we're FAR away from nearest natural water, the Connecticut
River.

Nice pics! Check out the beautiful (now incredibly rare) Whitesell being
oared in the picture from Elm and Central Streets in Springfield. The
trademark for those boats was that the transom was out of the water.
