An impressive, though terrifying storm. Interesting to note that Donna is the only hurricane of record to produce hurricane-force winds in Florida, the Mid-Atlantic states, and New England. A ''quadruple whammy'' (if you'll pardon the expression). It hits the Leeward Islands as a CAT 4 hurricane, moves on to slam into Florida as a CAT 4, recurves to strike a glacing blow to NC as a CAT 2, and then makes final landfall in LI as a CAT 2. Thankfully hurricanes that strike several places in a row do not occur all that often. Was anyone on the board in Florida when it passed through?
