50年前,1938年9月21日,一场命名为“长岛——新英格兰”的飓风,从大西洋呼啸而来,强大的力量吞噬了对这个发育成熟的热带气旋毫无准备的人们。傍晚,长岛的东部海岸和新英格兰南面海滩,风越刮越大,飓风推着大浪随之而来,使得海浪像山似的陡立起来,击碎了房屋和建筑物,切断了通讯、电力和铁路线。几百个居民区被包围,宛如孤立于大海中的小岛。幸存者悲夭嚎地,不顾一切地寻找亲人。然而,由于道路和桥梁被冲毁,他们不能回到家中。这是发生在1938年9月21日袭卷美国东北部的最惨重的自然灾害。这次飓风夺去了700多人的生命,造成了数千人受伤,毁坏了20,000座房屋、夏季疗养所和农场建筑物,以及26,000多辆汽车,和6,000多条船只。长岛人和新英格兰人对这场大飓风毫无准备。因为,自从1815年9月以后,还没有一个发育良好的飓风袭击过这些地区。有几次飓风的运行路线仅仅沿边
Fifty years ago, on September 21, 1938, a hurricane called “Long Island - New England” roared from the Atlantic and powerful forces engulfed people unprepared for this mature tropical cyclone. In the evening, the eastern coast of Long Island and the beaches of South New England caught the wind more and more. As a result of the hurricane wave, the waves erupted causing the waves to rise steeply, smashing houses and buildings, cutting off communications and electricity Railway. Hundreds of residential areas are surrounded, like isolated islands in the sea. Survivors grumble, desperate to find their loved ones. However, due to the destruction of roads and bridges, they can not return home. This is the worst natural disaster that hit the northeastern United States on September 21, 1938. The hurricane claimed more than 700 lives, wounding thousands and injuring 20,000 homes, summer sanitariums and farm buildings, as well as more than 26,000 cars and more than 6,000 boats. Long Island and New England were unprepared for the big hurricane. Because, since September 1815, no well-developed hurricane has hit these areas. There are several hurricanes that run only along the edge of the road
