87 years ago, on September 21, 1938, Rhode Island faced one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in its history. Known as the Great Hurricane, this storm struck with little warning, unleashing 120-mile-per-hour winds, a storm surge that swallowed entire coastlines, and devastation that reshaped Narragansett, Westerly, Newport, and beyond. Hundreds of lives were lost, and the Ocean State was forever marked by the force of nature’s wrath. 🌊 #great1938hurricane #rhodeislandhistory #newenglan
