Bookmark and Share Hurricane Earl compared to worst natural disaster ever, Hurricane of 1938: RARE VIDEO

Weather news in 1938 was non-existent, there was no communication as there is today. When the Long Island Express hit New York in 1938, it was a Category 3 hurricane that derailed trains, knocked down centuries old buildings and homes, doing over 4.75 billion dollars worth of damage in today's US dollars. It was the height of the Great Depression and people were out of work just like they are in 2010. Hurricane Earl, looming toward New England is being compared in strength and path to the Great Hurricane of 1938, America's worst natural disaster ever. Killing 650-800 people, most of them Rhode Islanders, this rare video will show you just what the 1938 Hurricane did and what lies ahead in the next few days for Long Island and New England, if Earl hits as predicted by the weather channel news and NOAA. The worst part is that it is hitting at night. God speed.
