Thirty Eight: The Hurricane That Transformed New England

<p><strong>Thirty Eight: The Hurricane That Transformed New England</strong><br /> <strong>Presentation by Steven Long</strong><br /> Sponsored by Vermont Humanities<br /> Thursday, May 7th at 6:30 p.m.</p> <p>A hurricane will never surprise us again. But that’s what happened to the people of New England on September 21, 1938. Without any warning, the most destructive weather event ever to hit the Northeast pummeled the coast and blasted its way to Vermont and New Hampshire with torrential rain, flooding, and sustained winds over 100 miles per hour.</p> <p>Stephen Long tells the story of New England’s Katrina, focusing on the devastation to the region’s forests and the daunting challenge facing New Englanders still in the throes of the Great Depression. His presentation is richly illustrated with archival photos of storm damage and the unprecedented recovery operation, making the storm and its aftermath come alive.</p>America/New_York2026-05-07T18:30:00America/New_York2026-05-07T19:30:00en-US0https://www.drml.org/event/thirty-eight-the-hurricane-that-transformed-new-england/free
