Sudden Sea: the Great Hurricane of 1938 by R.A. Scotti

The massive destruction wreaked by the Hurricane of 1938 dwarfed that of the Chicago Fire, the San Francisco Earthquake, and the Mississippi floods of 1927, making the storm the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. Now, R.A. Scotti tells the story.

Sudden Sea is a gripping historical narrative about one of the worst natural disasters in American history and the strongest hurricane ever to hit New England. It literally “carved a new coastline.” This cataclysmic natural event converged with social and economic changes already underway in America. The merger created significant cultural and economic change in New England.

Sudden Sea is available in print, Large Print and as an E-book on Libby and on Hoopla.
