This is likely the longest "On this Date" by year that has been made . Its an under-rated hurricane for sure, perhaps one of the most. Some info I haven't heard before, but the piece that I don't get was one from the Fox article where they have a quote of one of the survivors stating that the winds started up a whole week before the hurricane came in...that can't be related right? No low pressure system moving like this can do that (from this Earth that is).
