Flood and Hurricane of 1938 in Milford, Massachusetts
Most of the photos on this page were taken by Doug Taylor of Mendon. The fourth, fifth and sixth are from the Worcester Telegram website and sent to me by Peter Metzke of Melbourne, Australia. 1938 was a bad weather year. There was a flood in July and the hurricane arrived in September. Doug Taylor photos scanned and made available for this site by Paul Doucette of Mendon.
