Story of the Hurricanes: A Timeline of New York Storms
1985: Hurricane Gloria
Experts say that Gloria would have been truly devastating to NYC if it had hit at high tide, or approached land slightly closer to the city, but as it was, it still caused a great deal of damage. Approximately 683,000 people in New York State were left without power and $300 million dollars in property damage was caused. There was but one fatality, due to a falling tree, which makes us want to remind everybody STAY INSIDE. Unless, like me, you have to walk your dog, in which case, BE CAREFUL. Possible conversation topic during this hurricane: Are dogs worth it? Answer: Undecided, at this point.
