In an effort to get residents to wake up and pay attention to Hurricane Sandy, the governor of Connecticut just said that Sandy might be as bad as the worst hurricane ever to hit New England - the hurricane of The 1938 hurricane was so devastating that several shore communities simply disappeared, along with the people who lived in them. Providence, Newport, Hartford, and other cities were hit with severe flooding (see below). And the death toll was made worse because no hurricane warnings were issued: Forecasters expected the hurricane to turn east and proceed out to sea. The 1938 hurricane hit Long Island and then moved on to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, killing people along the way. In contrast, the US death toll from Hurricane Sandy rose to at least 85 as New York reported a major jump in fatalities caused by the storm. The 1938 hurricane was similar in some ways to Sandy, but it was far more powerful (Category 5 versus Category 1). It also moved far more quickly, which increased the perceived speed of the winds on the eastern side of the hurricane. The center of Sandy is also hit the Jersey Shore, not New England. These massive storms both hit United States in the autumn at the tail end of the hurricane season. Differences Similarities Differences Hurricane of 1938 Hurricane Sandy
