Wasn’t that the storm where Kathryn Hepburn’s family home was destroyed?
Yes, it was. A good documentary on the 1938 New England Hurricane can be found here:
Violent Earth: New England's Killer 1938 Hurricane - History Channel documentary
“My God, it was something devastating – and unreal – like the beginning of the world – or the end of it – and I slogged and sloshed, crawled through ditches and hung on to keep going somehow – got drenched and bruised and scratched – completely bedraggled – finally got to where there was a working phone and called Dad. The minute he heard my voice he said, ‘How’s your mother?’ – And I said – I mean shouted – the storm was screaming so – ‘She’s all right. All right, Dad! But listen, the house – it’s gone – blown away into the sea!” And he said, ‘I don’t suppose you had brains enough to throw a match into it before it went, did you? It’s insured against fire, but not against blowing away! – and how are you?’” https://www.historybyzim.com/2015/07/katharine-hepburn-the-new-england-hurricane-of-1938/
