	New England Hurricane of 1938 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New England Hurricane of 1938 (or Great New England Hurricane or Long Island Express or simply The Great Hurricane of 1938) was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869.
		The hurricane produced storm tides of 14 to 18 feet across most of the Long Island and Connecticut coast, with 18 to 25 foot tides from New London east to Cape Cod.
		It is estimated that 600 people died in the storm in New England, most in Rhode Island, and up to 100 people elsewhere in the path of the storm.

	Hurricane Audrey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the time period, the devastation from Hurricane Audrey was the worst for the United States since the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.
		Hurricane Audrey then reached its peak intensity of 145 mph (230 km/h) and an estimated pressure of (at most) 946 millibars before making landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border on June 27.
		Comparisons between Hurricane Rita of the 2005 season and Audrey are inevitable because of their similar strengths and nearly identical landfall locations with the eye again passing over Bridge City, Texas.

	The Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938
		The hurricane of September 1938 is believed to have originated near the Cape Verde islands around the 10th of September from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa a few days earlier.
		This hurricane is unprecedented in recent history in terms of its destructive storm surge along the northeast coast and the spread of hurricane conditions as far inland as northern Vermont and the Adirondack mountains of New York State.
		The hurricane also produced tremendous inland flooding as very heavy rains in a short period of time added to the impact of flooding caused by excessive rainfall for several days prior to the arrival of the hurricane.
