While so much has changed between now and the middle of the twentieth century, the unpredictability of weather has not. Lucy Wentworth Holmes, the mother of Doris Holmes Blake, recounts her experience of a "Hurrycane" to her daughter, hoping that Doris escaped the brunt of it, while describing the fierce winds and lashing rain that accompanied the storm, even alongisde New England where most hurricanes begin to dissolve into the Gulf Stream. For all the change that the world has seen, nature remains both powerful and inscrutable, something that Doris would have likely appreciated due to her own work in natural sciences.
