A New England hurricane is a tropical cyclone originating in the North Atlantic Ocean that affects the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine in the United States. Vermont rarely receives any tropical cyclones, as it does not border the Atlantic coast. However, a few storms have crossed into Vermont with tropical storm strength.

List of tropical cyclones

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale
TD TS 1 2 3 4 5

Most of the following are tropical cyclones that passed through the states after weakening from their peak.

Pre–1600s

Multiple intense hurricanes (Category 3+) hit New England in pre-Columbian times: between 1100–1150, 1300–1400 (1295–1407), and 1400–1450 (1404–1446), respectively.[1][2]

1600s

1700s

  • October 18, 1703- A tropical system caused great wind and flood damage; many ships were lost.
  • February 23, 1723- An off-season storm struck Cape Cod causing a great deal of damage, but no reported deaths. [3]
  • October 8, 1747- Seven ships were destroyed and "Many" perished.
  • September 1775- The Newfoundland Hurricane of 1775 apparently brought strong winds and/or waves to New England, though it is not known to have actually made landfall. This report may also be confused with the Independence Hurricane of September 2-3, 1775 which passed into New England from New York as a tropical depression or weak tropical storm.
  • August 13, 1778- A weakening hurricane that struck the Carolinas impacted the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island but did not make landfall. This storm prevented a major battle between England and France off the coast of Rhode Island.
  • November 1, 1778- A possible late season hurricane struck Cape Cod, Massachusetts, killing 50-70 people. Twenty-three of these deaths are believed to be attributed to the HMS Somerset III, a British ship which ran aground on Cape Cod during this storm.
  • October 8-9, 1782- A hurricane that struck the Carolinas and moved up the coast cauing damage in Providence, Rhode Island. It is currently not known if this hurricane made landfall in New England.
  • October 18-19, 1782- A second hurricane moved up the coast and was considered more severe than the previous storm in portions of New England, especially Boston. This was a rare snow hurricane for New England and the storm was likely transforming into an extratropical cyclone as it approached the New England states.
  • September 24-25, 1785- A hurricane which made landfall near Ocracoke, NC impacted southern New England. Based on known observations, this hurricane remained offshore of New England but passed close enough to inflict heavy rain and strong wins to New York City and Boston.
  • August 19, 1788- A weakening hurricane moved up through eastern New York impacting western New England.

1800s

  • September 12, 1804- The Antigua-Charleston Storm, a major hurricane for the Caribbean, Georgia, and South Carolina, impacted portions of New England as weakening tropical storm and then tropical depression before dissipating off the coast of Nova Scotia.
  • October 9,[3] 1804- The Storm of October 1804 crossed New England, cool air was entrained in the circulation, and it became extratropical. The storm brought heavy snow across the Northeast, in some areas up to 2-3 feet, and killed 9 people. This was the second observation of snow from a landfalling hurricane, but not the last. This Category three hurricane was a major one, especially for eastern Massachusetts.
  • October 3, 1805- A hurricane that sturck Mantanzas, Cuba reportedly reached the Maine territory (claimed by Massachusetts until 1820) as a tropical cyclone. Little information is available on this storm but a tropical cyclone exclusively striking Maine is not unique. This is what occured during the passage of Hurricane Gerda in 1969.
  • September 1815- What was once a major hurricane in the Carolinas brought Tropical Storm force winds to portions of New England. The likely track of this cyclone takes it very near but offshore of Nantucket.
  • September 23-24, 1815- The Great September Gale of 1815 struck New England as a major hurricane and delivered an 11-foot storm surge that funneled up Narragansett Bay where it destroyed some 500 houses and 35 ships and flooded Providence, Rhode Island. It also caused 38+ deaths all over New England.
  • August 12, 1817- A hurricane that was first reported near Tobago made landfall on the Florida panhandle and moved slowly up the coast. This cyclone, now a weak tropical storm or tropical depression, brought rain to New York and portions of New England on the 12th before moving into Quebec.
  • September 4, 1821- The 1821 Norfolk and Long Island Hurricane was a very powerful tropical cyclone that made landfall within the modern day limits of New York City. It sliced through New England and was likely extratropical as it moved along the Maine coastline.
  • June 4-5, 1825- An early season hurricane known sometimes dubbed the "Early June Hurricane" formed in late May near Santo Domingo and later struck Cuba, Florida, and South Carolina before moving up the Mid-Atlantic and into New England. Hurricane conditions were reported as far north as New York City and the cyclone's status as a tropical cyclone in New England is debatable given the early date.
  • August 27, 1827- The St. Kitts Hurricane impacted the eastern seaboard from Wilmington, NC to Portsmouth, NH. It is possible that this cyclone made landfall along the United States but there are also conflicting reports that say it remained offshore of Cape Hatteras, Deleware, and Nantucket. August 1827 was a very active month with at least 4 hurricanes impacting the North Atlantic.
  • August 1830- Two hurricanes passed close to southeastern Massachusetts within a week of each other. First came the Atlantic Coast Hurricane on August 19th followed by a second hurricane around the 25th. Damage from these two blows were duely noted on Nantucket. It appears that the later system approached the region from the southeast before turning out to sea southeast of Cape Cod.
  • October 11, 1830- A third hurricane impacted New England in 1830 but like the two in August, this cyclone did not make landfall in New England. Barnestable, Massachusetts reported the storm.
  • July 19, 1835- The remnants of a hurricane that struck Florida twice moved into northern New England from New York.
  • August 30, 1839- A hurricane moved up the east coast but did not make landfall. Fringe effects were felt on Long Island and southeastern New England.
  • October 3, 1841- The October Gale of 1841 became an extratropical storm, and passed off the coast of New England. It led to a storm of snow and sleet in Connecticut, bringing up to 18 feet of snow in some areas. The storm wrecked the Georges Bank fishing fleet which drowned 81 fishermen and knocked down trees, tore roofs off houses and forced boats to go up on shore. The storm also destroyed a saltworks factory along Cape Cod, sending the economy to a slump. In 1842, a monument was erected to remember the sailors and fishermen lost at sea.
  • October 14, 1846- The Great Havana Hurricane of 1846 was still a strong tropical cyclone when it passed into New England from New York. In Hartford, Connecticut hurricane-force winds destroyed a trestle bridge. Numerous apple orchards in Massachusetts were reported ruined. No deaths due to the hurricane's passage over New England were reported.
  • October 6, 1849- A tropical cyclone made landfall in Massachusetts, causing 143 deaths. This was the first known tropical cyclone to make landfall in New England since June 1825.
  • 1850- Three tropical cyclones impacted New England this season. The remnants of a July hurricane in the Cariolinas passed into New England. An August hurricane caused damage in its wake through New England but was probably a tropical storm. Finally, a September hurricane passed off the coast causing some damage.
  • October 19, 1851- A tropical storm formed north of the Bahamas on October 16. It continued northward and reached a peak intensity of 70 mph (113 km/h). But it weakened to a 60 mph (97 km/h)-storm before it made landfall in Rhode Island on the 19th. Later that day it dissipated on the border between Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
  • September 16, 1858- A category 1 hurricane made landfall on the Connecticut-Rhode Island border and brought heavy rain to New England before exiting Maine as a tropical storm. It then continued northeast until it dissipated just over the other side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the 17th.
  • September 28, 1861- Hurricane 5 hit Connecticut as a 60 mph (97 km/h) tropical storm. It then continued east-northeast and dissipated in extreme eastern Maine later that day.
  • November 3, 1861- The Expedition Hurricane struck eastern Connecticut as a 60 mph (97 km/h) tropical storm. It then continued northeast until it dissipated over southern Maine later that day.
  • September 19, 1863- An Unnamed tropical storm makes landfall in New York and brings strong winds to western New England.
  • October 30, 1866- The former category one Hurricane 7 makes landfall in New Jersey, Long Island, and New York City and begins to parallel the New York-New England border until it briefly enters Vermont and dissipates.
  • October 10, 1894- Hurricane 5 struck Connecticut as a category 1 hurricane.
  • September 10, 1896- Hurricane 2 struck Massachusetts as a category 1 hurricane.
  • September 24, 1897- Tropical Storm 3 hit Connecticut as a 50 mph (80 km/h) tropical storm. It continued up through all the New England states except for Vermont.
  • October 6, 1898- Hurricane 7 came from the west and hit Maine as a tropical depression, then continued east into Atlantic Canada.
  • November 1, 1899- Hurricane 8 struck New England as a 50 mph (80 km/h)+ extratropical storm.

  • 1976 August 6 -Hurricane/Tropical Storm Belle - Hurricane's rather slow movement enabled weakening to set in as storm approached Long Island,NY and then moved into Connecticut,MA,and transversed the Vermont/NH border. Wind gusts to 90 mph in southern Connecticut, 60+mph Providence RI and 75 mph Newport RI. Considered minor storm.
  • 1985 September 27-28-Hurricane Gloria- cat.1/2- first hurricane of significant strength to move inland in southern New England since 1960.

  • 1996- July - former Hurricane Bertha - storm moved into southern New England with as tropical storm with strong gales that in some exposed areas gusted to minimal hurricane force in southern Rhode Island and south coastal Massachusetts west of Buzzards Bay. Minor damage but notable in coastal Rhode Island.
  • 1996 September 2 - Hurricane Edouard - category 1 - offshore-hurricane force wind gusts from Buzzards Bay east across Cape and Islands. Worse storm than 1985 Gloria on Cape Cod but not as destructive as Bob which has become a benchmark hurricane on Cape Cod. Considerable losses on the Massachusetts islands. Oak Bluffs, Marthas Vineyard MA particularly hard-hit.


Tropical Storm Danny south of Massachusetts
  • July 26, 1997 – Tropical Storm Danny stalls just to the south of Nantucket,[5] causing only minor damage, despite strong winds that are experienced in southeastern Massachusetts.[6] The minor damage includes minimal flooding, power outages, and downed tree limbs.[7]
  • 1999 September 17-18 Hurricane Floyd – After paralleling much of the U.S. East Coast, Tropical Storm Floyd moves into Connecticut, and tracks northward through Maine. Floyd causes large power outages and flood damage across the region, with over five inches (130 mm) of rain falling over most of the area. Danbury, Connecticut received up to 15 inches (380 mm) of rain from the storm, resulting in extensive flooding in the city and surrounding areas. Mudslides were reported in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. Several major highways and a countless number of local roads in Connecticut and Massachusetts were closed for several days due to flooding, and downed trees and power lines. Hurricane force wind gusts were observed in southern Rhode Island: North Kingston unofficially 90 mph.Wind gusts to 76 mph at New Bedford Hurricane Dike in New Bedford, MA and 73 mph in Hyannis, MA.

2001–2004

  • June 17, 2001 – Tropical Storm Allison brushes southern New England as a subtropical storm. In Connecticut, rainfall peaks at 7.2 inches (183 mm) in Pomfret,[8] closing several roads and causing minor damage to numerous houses.[9] In Rhode Island, the rainfall washes out several roads.[9]
  • September 11, 2002 – The interaction between Hurricane Gustav and the non-tropical system causes strong winds that affected areas of coastal New England, mainly in eastern New York and Massachusetts.[10] The winds down trees and power lines, and several homes and cars are damaged by fallen trees; about 19,000 homes lost power in Massachusetts.[11]

Landfalls

New England Hurricanes are uncommon but they do make landfall. Normally due to cold waters, and fast moving winds hurricanes do not last long so the ones that do make landfall are normally weak, with category 3 being rare.[46]

The following tables are a list of those hurricanes that did make landfall in New England:

1800's

The 1800's saw a few notable storms. In 1869 an intesnse category 3 hurricane struck southeastern New England. Also were the Saxby Gale, San Felipe Hurricane, Gale of 1878, and the Sea Islands Hurricane. Since hurricanes were not named and less records were kept back then, the information on somf of the storms remains sketchy.
