Special Announcement: Remembering the Great Hurricane of 1938
Hello to all..
Saturday September 21st, 2013 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the Great Hurricane of 1938. The National Weather Service in Taunton has put together a web page on the Great Hurricane of 1938. It can be seen on the following link:
http://www.weather.gov/box/1938hurricane
The link has a plethora of information from meteorological data to storm maps, photos of damage, media stories, commemorative events and much more. The Great Hurricane of 1938 is a benchmark that New England hurricanes are measured and remains one of the most catastrophic hurricanes to have ever hit New England and is historical nationally for the damage caused to our region. Please take time to check out this page as a reminder of what can happen and that despite the strong impacts of tropical systems to our region over the past 2 years, that even stronger impacts can occur such as what occurred 75 years ago on September 21st with the Great Hurricane of 1938.
