Point Judith, Rhode Island
On September 21, 1938 a severe and very powerful major hurricane (probably Category Three or Four) affected Point Judith. Just under six years later, another powerful hurricane affected the area. The 1944 hurricane was almost Category Three when it struck New England. Hurricane Carol in late August 1954 struck across the Connecticut–Rhode Island state line as a mild Category Three hurricane. The storm caused next to $200 million in damage as it hit.
