  3. The Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940: The Storm That Killed the Duck Hunters | Weather With Enthusiasm

    The Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940: The Storm That Killed the Duck Hunters | Weather With Enthusiasm

    The Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940: The Storm That Killed the Duck Hunters Weather With Enthusiasm — Episode 8 | Kol Simcha Productions =========================================== EPISODE SUMMARY =========================================== On the morning of November 11, 1940 — Armistice Day — thousands of duck hunters across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois headed to the Mississippi River. The temperature was in the mid-50s. The sky was blue. The birds were flying. By nightfall, 154 people were dead. A rapidly deepening low-pressure system — one of the most intense ever recorded in the Midwest — exploded out of the Texas Panhandle and roared northeast. Temperatures plunged 30°F in hours. Winds reached 80 mph. The Mississippi ran 5-foot waves. Duck hunters stranded on river islands froze to death overnight. Three freighters sank on Lake Michigan. It remains one of the deadliest winter storms in American history. =========================================== KEY FACTS =========================================== Date: November 11–12, 1940 Region: Texas Panhandle northeast through Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan Total deaths: 154 (some estimates up to 210) - ~85 duck hunters (Mississippi River valley) - 66 sailors (Lake Michigan — SS Anna C. Minch, SS William B. Davock, SS Novadoc) - Remaining: motorists, train passengers, farmers Meteorological details: - Bombogenesis: pressure deepened explosively from Texas Panhandle on Nov 10 - Record low pressures: Charles City IA 28.92 inHg · La Crosse WI 28.72 inHg · Duluth MN 28.66 inHg - Wind gusts to 80 mph - Temperature swing: mid-50s °F → single digits overnight (30°F+ drop) - Snow totals: up to 26.6 inches in Collegeville, MN - Snowdrifts: up to 20 feet Other damage: - ~1.5 million turkeys killed (Minnesota and Iowa) - Tens of thousands of cattle lost - Thanksgiving turkey shortage — birds sold for 25 cents each Eyewitness (Dale Engler, hunting Mississippi River, MN): "At two o'clock the rain turned into wind-driven sleet and snow, and within the next two hours I saw more waterfowl than I've seen in my life." =========================================== LEGACY =========================================== The disaster exposed the failure of centralized Midwest forecasting (one Chicago office for the entire region). In the aftermath: - Regional Weather Bureau offices were established, including La Crosse, WI for the Upper Mississippi valley - Winter storm warning procedures were formalized - The modern network of local NWS forecast offices traces its origins in part to this storm =========================================== SOURCES =========================================== - NOAA/NWS La Crosse: https://www.weather.gov/arx/nov111940 - NOAA/NWS Chicago: https://www.weather.gov/lot/1940Nov11_armisticeday - Ducks Unlimited: https://www.ducks.org/hunting/duck-hunting-stories/the-great-armistice-day-storm-of-1940 - MeatEater: https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/waterfowl/bar-room-banter-armistice-day-the-day-85-duck-hunters-died - EBSCO Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/earth-and-atmospheric-sciences/armistice-day-blizzard =========================================== New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

  4. The New England Hurricane of 1938 — The Long Island Express | Weather With Enthusiasm

    2d ago

    The New England Hurricane of 1938 — The Long Island Express | Weather With Enthusiasm

    THE NEW ENGLAND HURRICANE OF 1938 — THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESS Weather With Enthusiasm | Episode 7 On September 21, 1938, a Category 3 hurricane moving at nearly 50 miles per hour slammed into Long Island and tore through New England — leaving at least 682 people dead and destroying tens of thousands of homes. No hurricane warning was ever issued. The United States Weather Bureau had downgraded the storm to a tropical storm just hours before it made landfall. This episode tells the full story: how the storm formed, why forecasters failed to see it coming, the catastrophic storm surges that submerged downtown Providence, and the young junior forecaster named Charles Pierce who predicted the disaster — and was overruled. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. ───────────────────────────────────────────── KEY FACTS ───────────────────────────────────────────── DATE OF LANDFALL: September 21, 1938 FIRST LANDFALL: Near Bellport, Long Island, NY — approximately 2:10–2:40 PM EST SECOND LANDFALL: Between Bridgeport and New Haven, CT — approximately 4:00 PM EST STORM CATEGORY: Category 3 at landfall CENTRAL PRESSURE: 27.94 in (946.2 mb) at Bellport, NY FORWARD SPEED: ~47–50 mph (more than twice normal hurricane forward speed) ORIGIN: Tropical disturbance near Cape Verde Islands, early September 1938 DEATH TOLL: 682–800 (direct fatalities) - Rhode Island/Connecticut/Long Island combined: ~600 - Massachusetts: 99 - New Hampshire: 13 - Vermont: 5 - Long Island: ~60 - Westhampton Beach, NY: 29 INJURIES: At least 1,700 HOMELESS: Approximately 63,000 WIND SPEEDS: - Blue Hill Observatory (Milton, MA): sustained 121 mph; peak gust 186 mph - Providence, RI: sustained 100 mph; gust to 125 mph - Block Island, RI: sustained 91 mph; gust to 121 mph - Long Island landfall sustained: 120 mph STORM SURGE: - Connecticut coast: 14–18 feet above normal - New London, CT to Cape Cod (including all of Rhode Island): 18–25 feet - Narragansett Bay / Providence: 15.8 feet above normal spring tides; over 13 feet of water in downtown Providence streets - Sandy Point, Prudence Island: 17 feet 5 inches DAMAGE: - Homes/buildings destroyed: ~8,900 - Homes/buildings damaged: >15,000 - Trees destroyed: approximately 2 billion - Boats destroyed: ~3,300 - Cost: $620 million (1938 dollars); estimated ~$41 billion in 2010 dollars METEOROLOGICAL NOTES: - Storm tracked up the Gulf Stream, maintaining intensity due to extreme forward speed - Struck at autumnal equinox — astronomically high tides amplified the storm surge - Junior forecaster Charles Pierce correctly predicted New England landfall and was overruled - Weather Bureau had downgraded storm to "tropical storm" at 10 AM on the day of landfall - No hurricane warning was ever issued for Long Island or New England - Radio broadcaster E.B. Rideout (WEEI) independently warned listeners a hurricane was coming SPECIFIC TRAGEDIES: - Seven children killed when their school bus was blown into Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, RI - Whale Rock Lighthouse swept off its base; keeper Walter Eberle killed - Napatree Point (Westerly, RI) completely obliterated by surge - Actress Katharine Hepburn barely escaped her Old Saybrook, CT beach home; 95% of belongings lost - Brown University's original 1764 charter washed clean in a flooded Providence bank vault LEGACY: - The Weather Bureau's forecast failure catalyzed major reforms in hurricane tracking and communication - Aircraft reconnaissance of Atlantic storms was developed in subsequent years - Providence's Fox Point Hurricane Barrier completed 1966, prompted by 1938 flooding (and Hurricane Carol 1954) - Remains the deadliest and most powerful hurricane ever to strike New York State and New England ───────────────────────────────────────────── SOURCES ───────────────────────────────────────────── - NOAA / National Weather Service Boston: https://www.weather.gov/box/1938hurricane - NOAA / National Weather Service New York: https://www.weather.gov/okx/1938hurricanehome - Wikipedia — 1938 New England hurricane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_New_England_hurricane - PBS American Experience — The Hurricane of 1938: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/hurricane-path/ - NY Sea Grant / Dr. Louis Uccellini interview: https://seagrant.sunysb.edu/articles/12902/nysg-coastal-processes-hazards-news-a-forecasting-fulcrum-insights-from-dr-louis-w-uccellini-on-the-1938-hurricane-nov-18 - Lourdes B.
