The sun was shining today and spirits were up as power was restored to Halstead Lane in Pine Orchard
We were on a quest to find 26 Halstead the former residence of the Mills family Chris Mills a resident of Philadelphia PA e-mailed Branford Patch
after the storm asking how his old neighborhood had stood up
Later Mills sent us photos of the neighborhood after the 1938 Hurricane hoping to compare how the 2011 storm affected residents
Traveling down Grove Street and meandering around tiny side streets we found our way to the coast and walked along what was the sea wall Broken
and dangerous this area should not be visited even by the bravest journalists or curiosity seekers
At the end of Crescent Bluff the sea wall and earth below was swallowed up by the storm surge of Irene The devastation was comparable to the
infrastructure damage of Linden Avenue
Walking down Halstead we met up with Jim Killelea a 20-year resident of the street and Sue Gavejian who has lived in Pine Orchard for seven years
The neighbors said they were helping each other clean up the debris of a tree that had fallen across the street during the storm
Both agreed it was the worst storm they had seen in their time living in the neighborhood and Killelea noted that his neighbor an 85-year-old womansaid it was the worst storm she had ever seen since she took up residence there in the 1950s
As we talked about the recent storm in comparison with past ones the conversation quickly turned to the Hurricane of 1938 It was the surge plus the
high tide which is what happened in 38 said Killelea
Noting her vantage point which is a sweeping view of the water Gavejian said watching the recent surge of Irene was like looking at Old faithful
As you take a stroll down not-so-happy memory lane by browsing our photo gallery we hope that youll consider yourself lucky after the tropical storm
caused extensive damage to homes and things but left most people physically unharmed
And though the lights appear to be coming back on perhaps a few days without electricity will help us be more open to turning off the TV a little earlier
shutting down the laptop before the witching hour and engage in conversation with the people we love a little more Be safe Branford
The original story stated the address was 24 Halstead Lane it is 26 Halstead Lane
