Meteorologists have alerted millions living along the Northeast coastline about the risk of a catastrophic hurricane. The region has not experienced a major hurricane landfall in over 70 years. Historically, hurricanes strike this area every 15 to 20 years, and major hurricanes every 60 to 70 years. Predictions suggest a storm comparable to the Great New England hurricane of 1938 is possible. That storm caused massive destruction and fatalities during its landfall. Experts stress the need for preparedness among those in the Northeast as the potential for such storms is real.
Meteorologists for AccuWeather issued a warning for millions of Americans living along the Northeast coastline to prepare for a potentially catastrophic hurricane disaster.
AccuWeather predicted the storm could be on par with the Great New England hurricane of 1938, which killed 700 people and caused significant damage.
Lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva highlighted that the Northeast has not experienced a direct Category 1 hurricane or stronger in over three decades.
Chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter emphasized the urgency for preparedness, stating that the Northeast is climatologically overdue for a direct hurricane landfall.
