SUMMARY:Thirty-Eight: The Hurricane That Transformed New England
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Chester Town Hall on Thursday\, May 28th from 7-8:30 PM as we welcome presenter Stephen Long. His talk will focus on the historic hurricane of 1938 that rocked New England and its aftermath. See more details below.\n\nThis presentation is sponsored in part by Vermont Humanities and is held in partnership with the Chester Historical Society.\n\nA hurricane will never surprise us again. But that’s what happened to the people of New England on September 21\, 1938. Without any warning\, the most destructive weather event ever to hit the Northeast pummeled the coast and blasted its way to Vermont and New Hampshire with torrential rain\, flooding\, and sustained winds over 100 miles per hour.\nStephen Long tells the story of New England’s Katrina\, focusing on the devastation to the region’s forests and the daunting challenge facing New Englanders still in the throes of the Great Depression. His presentation is richly illustrated with archival photos of storm damage and the unprecedented recovery operation\, making the storm and its aftermath come alive. A journalist and co-founder of Northern Woodlands magazine\, Stephen Long is the author of Thirty-Eight: The Hurricane that Transformed New England.
