"This strong Cat.-3 Hurricane struck several coastal areas of New England
in September of 1938 with little warning, killing 256 people and moving
at a forward speed over 50 MPH. The Blue Hill Observatory at Milton,
Massachusetts reported a sustained wind of 121 MPH with a gust of 183
MPH. Hartford Connecticut had a low pressure reading of 28.04 inches.
Just over 2000 people were injured. Damage was around $250-million
dollars. (1938-dollars.)"

driving your kids to soccer practice"
