We're not right on the coast, but as the crow flies we're less than 20 miles from it. Strange that I don't even remember news coverage of the incident 10 years ago.

I've certainly seen very different weather in Southern New England over the years depending a lot of elevation and distance from the ocean. ________________________________ From: "Bradley, David" <David_Bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: klaatumail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, June 1, 2010 10:58:48 AM Subject: [klaatumail] Re: Cough cough > We're only a short while south of you here in Rhode Island, I don't think I ever realized you were so close!

How on earth could I forget about it? Maybe since there was no smell? Or maybe we were overcast for those days and wouldn't have noticed it anyways. I don't know. Can't recall that happening at all.
