Forest Damage from the 1938 Hurricane by Towns
Item Information
- Title:
- Forest Damage from the 1938 Hurricane by Towns
- Description:
-
Forest damage from the 1938 hurricane. Greater wind speeds and forest damage occurred on the right side of the track due to its rapid forward movement and counter-clockwise rotation. Connecticut and Rhode Island display less damage than northern states due to less forest cover and less white pine, which is highly susceptible to blow-down. Damage is represented by the volume of timber windblown by town: (none), no damage or data; (low), <1 million board feet; (medium), 1-10 million board feet; and (high), >10 million board feet. One board foot equals a board one foot square and one inch thick. Hurricane track data from Emery Boose and the Harvard Forest.
