The Great Appalachian Storm — Thanksgiving 1950On Thanksgiving weekend 1950, one of the most meteorologically extraordinary and devastating winter storms in American history struck the eastern United States.

THE NEW ENGLAND HURRICANE OF 1938 — THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWeather With Enthusiasm | Episode 7On September 21, 1938, a Category 3 hurricane moving at nearly 50 miles per hour slammed into Long Island and tore through New England — leaving at least 682 people dead and destroying tens of thousands of homes. No hurricane warning was ever issued. The United States Weather Bureau had downgraded the storm to a tropical storm just hours before it made landfall.This episode tells the full story: how the storm formed, why forecasters failed to see it coming, the catastrophic storm surges that submerged downtown Providence, and the young junior forecaster named Charles Pierce who predicted the disaster — and was overruled.New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.─────────────────────────────────────────────KEY FACTS─────────────────────────────────────────────DATE OF LANDFALL: September 21, 1938FIRST LANDFALL: Near Bellport, Long Island, NY — approximately 2:10–2:40 PM ESTSECOND LANDFALL: Between Bridgeport and New Haven, CT — approximately 4:00 PM ESTSTORM CATEGORY: Category 3 at landfallCENTRAL PRESSURE: 27.94 in (946.2 mb) at Bellport, NYFORWARD SPEED: ~47–50 mph (more than twice normal hurricane forward speed)ORIGIN: Tropical disturbance near Cape Verde Islands, early September 1938DEATH TOLL: 682–800 (direct fatalities) - Rhode Island/Connecticut/Long Island combined: ~600 - Massachusetts: 99 - New Hampshire: 13 - Vermont: 5 - Long Island: ~60 - Westhampton Beach, NY: 29INJURIES: At least 1,700HOMELESS: Approximately 63,000WIND SPEEDS: - Blue Hill Observatory (Milton, MA): sustained 121 mph; peak gust 186 mph - Providence, RI: sustained 100 mph; gust to 125 mph - Block Island, RI: sustained 91 mph; gust to 121 mph - Long Island landfall sustained: 120 mphSTORM SURGE: - Connecticut coast: 14–18 feet above normal - New London, CT to Cape Cod (including all of Rhode Island): 18–25 feet - Narragansett Bay / Providence: 15.8 feet above normal spring tides; over 13 feet of water in downtown Providence streets - Sandy Point, Prudence Island: 17 feet 5 inchesDAMAGE: - Homes/buildings destroyed: ~8,900 - Homes/buildings damaged: >15,000 - Trees destroyed: approximately 2 billion - Boats destroyed: ~3,300 - Cost: $620 million (1938 dollars); estimated ~$41 billion in 2010 dollarsMETEOROLOGICAL NOTES: - Storm tracked up the Gulf Stream, maintaining intensity due to extreme forward speed - Struck at autumnal equinox — astronomically high tides amplified the storm surge - Junior forecaster Charles Pierce correctly predicted New England landfall and was overruled - Weather Bureau had downgraded storm to "tropical storm" at 10 AM on the day of landfall - No hurricane warning was ever issued for Long Island or New England - Radio broadcaster E.B.
