Discussion on great New

England hurricane of 1938

HOLLIS – The Hollis Historical Society will have their first meeting of the new year at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19 at the Lawrence Barn on Depot Road.

Dr. Lourdes Aviles will tell us how, on the morning of Sept. 21, 1938 people throughout the northeastern United States awoke to a dim red sky and high humidity. Weather reports gave no forecast of severe weather. Modern day forecasting technology did not exist. From Portland, Maine to Long Island, N.Y., people had no indication that the most severe weather event in their lifetime was about to happen, leaving 700 dead and the equivalent of more than $4.5 billion in damage that would impact the region for decades.

Dr. Aviles is an associate professor of meteorology at Plymouth State University and the author of “Taken by Storm, 1938: A Social and Meteorological History of the Great New England Hurricane.” This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
