The storm in the story is known as "The Long Island Express," or "The Great New England Hurricane."

The death toll for the storm was 682. It was the fourth hurricane of the 1938 season. My mother and her sister remember refrigerators and rooftops floating in the Great South Bay during the eye of the storm.

Thanks for the information. Maybe I should change the title for subsequent coverage. I will ping you for the next few days while it is in the news. What is the “Great South Bay?”
