Could a big hurricane whack New England? ‘More of a question of when than if.’ https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/10/12/science/hurricane-new-england-at-risk-climate-change/ (paywall alas) "The region is yet to experience a hurricane in the era of rising seas. Sea levels along the coast of Boston are about 14 inches higher than they were when records began in 1921... Boston is particularly vulnerable.. Because #Boston sits in a bay... all of that water pushing in from the Atlantic would funnel into the city." More on the 1938 #hurricane:

Waiting for the hurricanes – Eric Bender

Watching Hurricane Milton head toward Florida's western coast is like watching a jumbo jet crash in slow motion. I've spent a lot of time in Florida and have been fond of the state and many of its residents. My father spent his last years in Lee County, where Hurricane Ian killed more than 60 people in 2022, and which seems to be near the cross-hairs for Milton as well. The Gulf of Mexico is an ever-hotter hotbed for hurricanes, but New England also gets its share. #Milton #hurricane
