Following the first fierce blow came tidal waves, several in succession to heights of 30 or 40 feet. Bath houses, boat houses, summer cottages, Coast Guard stations, long rows of squat and sturdy stores were swept away, hammered into high windrows of kindling wood or carried over whole to toss on the raging bay waters.
