Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635
The Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 was a severe hurricane which in August of that year brushed Virginia and then passed over southeastern New England. Though accounts of the storm are very limited, it was most likely the most intense hurricane to hit New England since European colonization.
==Meteorological history==
The first record mention of the Great Colonial Hurricane was on August 24, 1635, at the Virginia Colony at Jamestown.〔(Seventeenth Century Virginia Hurricanes )〕 Though it did affect Jamestown as a major hurricane, no references to damage by the hurricane can be found, probably because the hurricane evidently moved past rapidly, well east of the settlement.
Governors John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay Colony and William Bradford of Plymouth Colony recorded accounts of the Great Colonial Hurricane. Both describe high winds, 14 to 20 foot storm surges along the south-facing coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and great destruction.〔
