LOOKING BACK

1475: Italian artist and poet Michelangelo was born in Caprese in the Republic of Florence.

1944: U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.

1962: what became known as the Ash Wednesday Storm began pounding the mid-Atlantic coast; over a three-day period, the storm resulted in 40 deaths and caused more than $200 million in property damage.
