Here's a good reference on the '38 storm from Intellicast's website.

Thanks for the link to the info on the 1938 hurricane. I had no idea that hurricanes could be so deadly in the Northeast. 2 billion trees knocked down. Wow! Glad we live on top of a hill, but now am worried about the humongous oak trees in the back yard.

All you hurricane newbies better read up on hurricanes.

Here is some advice you may not get elsewhere - even if you are nowhere near the ocean or a river, before the hurricane hits drive your cars onto higher ground, as the streets can flood - do NOT attempt to drive on a flooded street unless you KNOW how deep the water is. There WILL be flash floods and flash floods kill.
