1938 - A great hurricane smashed into Long Island and bisected New England causing a massive forest blowdown and widespread flooding. Winds gusted to 186 mph at Blue Hill MA, and a storm surge of nearly thirty feet caused extensive flooding along the coast of Rhode Island. The hurricane killed 600 persons and caused 500 million dollars damage. The hurricane, which lasted twelve days, destroyed 275 million trees. Hardest hit were Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Long Island NY. The ""Long Island Express"" produced gargantuan waves with its 150 mph winds, waves which smashed against the New England shore with such force that earthquake-recording machines on the Pacific coast clearly showed the shock of each wave.

Palmer Springs, Virginia is an unincorporated community in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, United States. It is bordered to the west by Buggs Island Lake, to the north and east by Lake Gaston, and to the south by the North Carolina state line. Its main cash crop has historically been tobacco. Today, cattle farms are more common. Also, tourism centered around the two lakes is a very important factor for the community.
