Aug. 25,1635: The Great Colonial Hurricane was the first historical record of an intense hurricane in the region. Some refer to it as America’s first recorded natural disaster. The storm’s eye is believed to have passed between Boston and Plymouth causing at least 46 casualties.

Sept. 23, 1815: The Great September Gale was the first major hurricane to impact New England in 180 years. After crossing Long Island, N.Y., the storm came ashore at Saybrook, Conn., funneling an 11-foot storm surge up Narragansett Bay. There, it destroyed 500 houses, 35 ships and flooded Providence, R.I.

Sept. 21, 1938: The Great Hurricane. This Category 5 was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. The Blue Hill Observatory, outside of Boston, measured sustained winds of 121 mph, with gusts of 183 mph. Providence, R.I., reported sustained winds of 100 mph, gusting to 125 mph. Rainfall of 10 to 17 inches caused severe flooding in Western Massachusetts. In all, 600 deaths were attributed to the storm.

Sept. 14-15, 1944: The Great Atlantic Hurricane produced 140-mph winds and caused over $100 million in damage, as well as 390 deaths, mostly at sea.

Aug. 21, 1954: Hurricane Carol, a compact, but powerful, borderline Category 3 battered New England, killing 68. With 100 mph winds, gusting up to 135 mph, Carol caused over $460 million in damage, destroying 4,000 homes, 3,500 cars, and over 3,000 boats. This was arguably the most destructive storm to hit Southern New England since 1938.

Aug. 17-19, 1955: Hurricane Diane dropped up to 20 inches of rain, setting flood records throughout the region. Diane was recognized as the wettest tropical cyclone to impact New England and was blamed for nearly 200 deaths.

Sept. 12, 1960: Hurricane Donna recorded 160 mph winds with gusts up to 200 mph. Donna hit New England in Southeast Connecticut with sustained winds of 100 mph, gusting to 125-130 mph, cutting diagonally through the region to Maine. The storm killed 364, and caused more than $500 million in damage.

Sept. 27, 1985: Hurricane Gloria hugged the coastline; as it made its way north, Gloria crossed Long Island, making landfall at Milford, Conn. The storm left more than 2 million people without power.

Aug. 19, 1991: Hurricane Bob made landfall in New England near New Bedford with 115 mph winds. The damage total for Southern New England was set at $1 billion, with $2.5 billion overall damage.

I was living in Sedona, Arizona during the mid-1980s – when Darryl used to fly in and out every few weeks to see Jackson Browne’s son at the exclusive Verde Valley School. Darryl wants to make sure that other people can’t live anywhere near as well as she does.

The great prophet Obama was besieged by CO2 apostates and his polls were plummeting into the abyss, when a miracle occurred.

The CO2 gods sent Sandy to end the demise of the prophet, and give him a venue to hide his Libya transgressions – right before the great judgment of November 6.

After he was elected, Obama promised to hold the seas back and heal the planet.

Four years later it appears that he failed.

It has been more than seven years since a major hurricane struck the US, the longest such period since the Civil War.

In 1933, the US was hit by two major hurricanes a week apart. CO2 was well below Hansen’s safe level of 350 PPM at the time.

The stupidity of these people is seemingly limitless.

When will Hansen apologize to the world for creating an army of morons like RT?

Manhattan flooded in 1821 from a hurricane storm surge that rose 13 feet in one hour. The city appears to have survived that event from almost 200 years ago.

Team climate moron tells us that the US is now vulnerable to hurricanes, due to climate change.

The US has always been vulnerable to hurricanes. Eighty-six percent of US hurricane strikes occurred with CO2 below Hansen’s safe level of 350 PPM.

Hurricane strikes are declining in the US.
