I was stationed at the submarine school in Groton, Ct at the time Hurricane Carol came through. I do not know why but we, as students in the school, were not really aware of the approaching storm or it's potential severity. Communications and weather tracking admittedly were not what they are now but it was not the dark ages either. I vividly recall watching the wind and rain thru the windows of the barracks as the storm raged through. The barracks were located on about the highest point of the base so were in no danger from the rising waters. We heard about the flooding on the base down by the docks so we went down to see what was happening. It was quite a sight. The submarines had remained in port and dove in place at the docks. There they sat, submerged, sitting on the bottom with thier conning towers rising above the water. All of the cars that were parked along the docks and in the parking lots were under water. All you could see of them were the radio antennas sticking up out of the water. This was my first hurricane experience. The second followed shortly after when Hurricane Diane showed up.

Is this or is this not the hurricane that led to the construction of the extensive hurricane surge prevention system near Providence, Rhode Island? -- McTrixie/ Mr Accountable 16:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
HURDAT, direct from NHC, does not list Carol as a major hurricane. It is listed as a 100 mph Category 2. I know some of the NHC tables list it as such, but I have yet to see one that says anything but "3" under a Category tab. No windspeeds. Where 115 mph came from I don't know. Nothing in the MWR suggest major hurricane status other than a high gust reading. Gusts are notoriously sporadic. Are there errors in HURDAT, of course (Hazel, Beulah), but you can't just see "3" and put 115 mph. Could someone provide an official source that says 115 mph? -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 23:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

On the retired storms list i list a total damage amount of 461 million for Carol in the Untied States based on the 2005 edition of The Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones list. Im about to increase it by another million to account for what the CHC gives the Canadian Total to be here. However this article is giving off a dmaage total of about $460 million. Can we find the discrepency and deal with it please? Thanks. Jason Rees ( talk) 20:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
There's a citation needed for this line: "and Carol reached an initial peak intensity of 105 mph (165 km/h) late on August 27. citation needed" Could anybody fix it?-- Jarodalien ( talk) 08:48, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
