New York City Hurricane History, Superstorm Sandy Comparison
John C. Dvorak presents a historical timeline of major hurricanes hitting New York City to counter claims that Superstorm Sandy was an unprecedented "new normal." He cites the 1821 hurricane, the 1938 "Long Island Express," and several mid-century storms that produced higher storm surges or more rainfall than Sandy. The data is used to argue against the narrative of human-accelerated climate change.
