A hurricane is more likely to strike in May, when the oceans are warmer, than in March. But even in May hurricanes are unusual.

What is the hurricane that hit Worcester?

For Worcester, Massachusetts: On September 21, 1938, Worcester, Massachusetts was hit by the brutal New England Hurricane of 1938. On June 9, 1953 an F4 tornado hit Worcester, killing 94 people, though it was not related in any way to hurricane activity. The hurricane, also known as the Yankee Clipper or Long Island Express, was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. It made landfall on Long Island as a category 3. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy did more property damage in terms of dollars, but the 1938 storm is still listed as the second costliest storm to strike New England.

Is a hurricane watch or a hurricane warning more serious?

A hurricane warning is more serious than a hurricane watch. A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within a specified area, typically within 36 hours. A hurricane watch, on the other hand, means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, usually within 48 hours.

Would you rather be in a tornado or a hurricane?

I would rather be in a hurricane because it typically provides more advance warning and preparation time compared to a tornado which can strike suddenly and with little warning. Additionally, hurricanes tend to cover larger areas so there may be more options for finding safe shelter.
