It’s been 32 years since a hurricane crossed the coast of Long Island or New England. Much has changed since then, from infrastructure to what is now a coordinated effort to weaponize weather based on deception, distortion, and delusion. At that time, the alarm over global warming was just starting. The meteorological media was not yet in existence. There were reports on the weather, of course, and weather was covered, but not by entire departments or companies. The amount of trivial jibberish that comes out is truly mind-boggling. God only knows what happens if something major happens in a way people have not seen. For instance, South Florida south of Cape Canaveral and north of Miami has not been hit by a major hurricane since 1992. That is an outstanding extreme event, but not in a way now the meteo media outfit wants to push it because it’s a non-event. What I mean to show is what happened in the Northeast and ask the reader to try to imagine what would be said today to push the global warming narrative.
I try not to write “angry,” for anger weighs down the soul. But it is tough to be joyful when one is confronted, not only with a world of deception, distortion, and delusion but with knowing IF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AND SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN would be twisted into a pretzel of hysteria by people who likely have no idea of what has happened.
So, like I love to do, I am going to plant the seed before, and if ( when) it happens, the trap will be laid to expose their willful ignorance. I prefer to be proactive, not reactive. I have long believed the climate situation would be the nail in the coffin of our freedom. Bidens so-called Climate Corps is the US Greenshirts that are likely to evolve into a large enough group to enforce whatever climate controls the government wants if this is not stopped. The best I can do is show the weather I am worried about, BASED ON PAST REAL EVENTS, and all those with open minds and open hearts can then try to form an opinion on it. But with the media the way it is, the willful ignorance of the entire picture, and promoters of trivial effects that have always been there, I think the phony climate war noose on freedom is tightening. There is a war; it is using climate to curtail your freedom. And what is sad is the state of the country is allowing it.
So, let us get to this. In each of these years, I am using 1938, 1944, 1954, and 1960 have storms or, in the case of 1954, a group that has been seen since and may never be seen again. Worse ever now? I DON’T THINK SO, But because we do have a hurricane season from hell forecasted this year.

I want to make sure you know what has already happened by these examples.
The 1938 hurricane: (aka The Long Island Express, A Wind to Shake the World). I am going to show the tracks of these and pull some excerpts about them from the time they hit so you can get a picture of the reality of what could (should) happen. And the argument that any big storm will be its worst because of man-made climate change is easily debunked by looking at stand-alone events like this.

Here are some excerpts:
Over 35% of New England’s total forest area was affected. In all, over 2.7 billion board feet of trees fell because of the storm, although 1.6 billion board feet of the trees were salvaged.[30] The Northeastern Timber Salvage Administration (NETSA) was established to deal with the extreme fire hazard that the fallen timber had created.[31] In many locations, roads from the fallen tree removal were visible decades later, and some became trails still used today.[citation needed] The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad from New Haven to Providence was particularly hard hit, as countless bridges along the Shore Line were destroyed or flooded, severing rail connections to badly affected towns such as Westerly, Rhode Island.
They were still using lumber from the hurricane after WW2.
The Surge in Providence was mindboggling.
To the east, the surge left Falmouth and New Bedford under eight feet of water. Two-thirds of the boats sank in New Bedford harbor. Several homes were washed away on Atlantic Boulevard in Fall River, and their foundations can still be found on the beach today. The Blue Hill Observatory registered sustained winds of 121 mph (195 km/h) and a peak gust of 186 mph (299 km/h), which is the strongest hurricane-related surface wind gust ever recorded in the United States.[63] A 50 ft (15 m) wave, the tallest of the storm, was recorded at Gloucester.[39]
It is up to the reader to read the entire link to get the full weight of this.
1944. The Great Atlantic Hurricane:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944_Great_Atlantic_hurricane
Notice the bend in the track NE of the Bahamas and the rapid deepening with the turn back to the left, something I have pointed out before.
Some tidbits
] Five-minute sustained winds at Cape Henry topped out at 86 mph (139 km/h) while one-minute sustained winds topped out at 128 mph (206 km/h), though the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory assessed that the latter value was not in concordance with other observations or may have been “atypical of the circulation of the hurricane.”[1] A wind measurement of 134 mph (216 km/h) at Cape Henry nonetheless set a record for the region as the strongest winds measured within both the region and for the state of Virginia overall.[24] Gusts at Cape Henry may have reached as high as 150 mph (240 km/h).
The storm was unbelievable. It broke wind records from Hatteras to NYC. A reported 20-30 foot wall of water moved up the south Jersey shoreline destroying the Atlantic City boardwalk for the second time in 6 years. The pressure at Cape Hatteras at 947mb, while not even in the eye, is amazing.
The 1954 East Coast hurricane season:

Three storms stand out:
Carol Aug 31, 1954
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Carol
.png)
This was not as bad as 38, but devastating nonetheless. Again, the bend in the track was followed by the deepening and the run to the coast. But Carol’s lore is amplified by the fact she was one of 3 sisters. That another hurricane came 11 days later, Edna, to the same area is almost incomprehensible. The electricity was just going back on. Dolly, on the 6th of Sept, stayed East, but not Edna. Coming right up Carol’s track, the storm veered east and devastated The Cape and Islands, including where the Obamas bought their house, apparently clueless as to what Edna did and what can happen. Yet another cause of people pushing the climate missive and doing the opposite with their actions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Edna
My father, who was living in Rhode Island, said people were horrified. The city had gone under 11 feet of water in Carol. Here came Edna. But her veering saved areas that took the direct hit from Carol as she was 100 miles further east. Instead, a major blowout tide in Narragansett Bay exposed ships not seen since the Revolutionary War. But 2 monsters to hit within 11 days in New England is almost incomprehensible. It is like wind gusts to 186 in Blue Hill, Mass in 1938 would seem impossible. It’s not like it is Mt Washington.
Then, in October, Hazel, A CAT 4 ON OCTOBER 15TH THAT HIT NEAR MYRTLE BEACH.
October 15th? Cat 4? That far north? The closest we have is Hugo at Charleston around Sept 21, 1989.
If that same storm comes today, with what she did up the East Coast and the infrastructure in the way, it is likely to be as damaging a storm as to ever hit the US.

Again, the bend in the track, the deepening, and the run to the coast.
You have to read the whole article, but this excerpt should be enough to make you understand how bad this was.
Though not near the center, a gust of 182 km/h (113 mph) was recorded in Battery Park, the highest wind speed ever recorded within the municipal boundaries of New York City.[40]
I used the overall pattern to forecast the capture of Sandy well in advance, as a deep upper low-pressure system caught the store.
But to put this in perspective, Sandy’s highest wind gust in NYC was around hurricane force.
Then came Donna in 1960.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane Donna

Another bend in the track.
I implore the reader to read the write-up, as I do with all these.
But I labeled Donna, Prima Donna, for there is no other like her.
It delivered hurricane winds to EVERY STATE ON THE EAST COAST.
To put Donna in perspective, wind around Miami gusted to near 100 mph. Irma winds gusted to 75 mph. Ian only to around 60. Donna was a much larger hurricane — the continued argument I have for a power and impact scale. Four major hurricanes since 2004 hit in that part of Florida, but how are they all in the same category when each of them has a different size? Size matters, and Donna is a stand-alone.
Ian did reach the Carolinas as a hurricane, as did Donna, but that was it for him. Donna continued up the coast, reaching New England as a category 2 hurricane. It was an amazing feat and one that has not come close since.
With the hurricane season, we are forecasting it’s entirely possible that one or 2 storms will run the east coast, perhaps ending the hurricane drought in the NE. Landfalling hurricanes ( Gerda, eastern Maine 1969, Belle, Long Island 1976, Gloria 1985, Long Island and Bob 1991, Rhode Island) have occurred since then. Still, the frequency and intensity of the hurricanes from 1938 to 1960 have not been matched on the east coast. Supposedly, Senator Theodore Greene (for whom the airport in Warwick, RI, is named) pushed for the hurricane radar fence because people in the northeast were tired of being slammed by hurricanes.
He did not blame climate change. Instead, it was a case of understanding the weather can do this and we need to adapt. Dams also went up after these storms at the head of the bays where these surges occurred.
A small snippet to get you ready. Don’t fall for what is coming this year. The phony climate war has turned all of this into something that it was never meant to be. These hurricanes will debunk future missives if one does run the East Coast.
