I spent many an idyllic summer day on the shores of Buzzards Bay when I was a kid, and was worried about the little towns and inlets. I guess most came out of it fairly intact. From what I understand, a lot of boats rode Irene out with the fishing fleets in the New Bedford harbor, because it has a hurricane barrier with a gate that can be opened and closed.
