"I've lived here 50 years and I have never seen any water in my neighborhood!"

Last big storms, 1954, 1944 and 1938. I have been told many stories about cottages

floating out to Lower County Road and wading in knee deep water through-out West Dennis and Dennisport.

IMPOSSIBLE!

Hurricane Sandy Ravaged Misquamicut Beach, Westerly RI just 120 miles as the crow flies from Dennis!

It can't happen here!

IT CAN HAPPEN HERE
