One resource you could try is the Westerly Library. They have a collection on the Hurricane of 1938 as well as the microfilm of the Westerly Sun Newspaper. Since the storm was Sept 21, you might try searching from the 21st on for an article that is similar to your story. Hope this will help! Best Wishes, Melinda
