September 9, 1775: Landfall in Newfoundland

from 250 and Counting

The Independence Hurricane from September 2 is still going strong, and on this day it made landfall again, this time in Newfoundland, Canada. The devastation was immense, and perhaps would have been worse had it happened in modern times (we get it, there are satellites and stuff now). It remains Canada’s worst natural disaster and it’s still in the Top Ten chart for North Atlantic hurricanes. The post September 9, 1775: Landfall in Newfoundland appeared first on 250 and Counting.
