  2 0 If you mean the one on September 21, 1938, it was kind of expected (Miami was prepared), but both picked up speed and due to two high pressure systems it got channeled to New England. What the Weather Bureau knew seems to depend a little bit on the source; some say there were too few datapoints and some that senior analyts overruled the more junior. Likely it was a combination. Lots more information here, here, and here. P.S. Katherine Hepburn.   CleverScreenName answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 3 comments by Bauhaus, CleverScreenName, and "Cagey"… 0 0 PSS: Katharine Hepburn It's a small thing, I know, but she may have corrected you. Bauhaus commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 This is only fair, since I made a correction. CleverScreenName commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 It be sure, after I wrote the question, I dug up her biography on line, and copied the spelling, intending to cut and paste it over the misspelling. Alas, the page that told me I had posted 9 minutes earlier was a frozen image. The actual time when I tried to access my question was 17 minutes. Hense, I appear a dunce! Thank you all for the correction.

  0 0 NOVA (PBS)had a wonderful episode about the 1938 hurricane. It was available to watch online for a while and still may be here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/further-reading/hurricane-further-reading/ Florida breathed a sigh of relief that most of it was missed, but Long Island, Connecticut, and Rhode Island had little or no warning of what was on the way. People living on the beach (and their houses) were simply swept out to sea. It's severity was even felt in NYC.

Bauhaus commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 No problem. I think I may have caught part of that show. They should repeat it.
