The 1938 Hurricane
Wed Aug 25 2004 07:43 AM

I have heard many things about this hurricane. I have read somewhere that it had actually hit LI, as a cat.4 hurricane and caused massive destruction, I also heard that sustained winds were at 121 mph gusting to 186. These wind speeds were also so high becasue of the fast northward trajectory. Is this all ture, or are my grandparents exaggarating it?
