Just
35 years ago, a massive storm hit the East coast of the United States,
it's great power was felt all the way to Florida, where a great amount
of snow fell and temperatures fell under 0 degrees. It was not that
long ago, but people's memories are all fogged up with fluoride, booze, med drugs, dope, you name it! And it's not that snow removal equipment was not available, it was. It was just how massive this storm really was.
Dr. James P. Wickstrom
A two-day blizzard hit the New England and New York metropolitan
areas in February of 1978. In many places, very heavy snow fell for a solid 33
hours. Billions of dollars worth of damages and hundreds of deaths were
left in the end. In Massachusetts, thousands of ill-informed workers
were stranded in their offices for days afterwards, and some others were
trapped in cars along the side of the road.
The storm happened to occur during a new moon, which created a
stronger tide, further exacerbating the damages to seaside communities.
Homes, streets, and businesses were washed away by giant waves.
Known as the Super-storm, the United States saw two days of
hurricane winds, tornadoes, and a blizzard that ravaged the east coast.
Massive accumulations of snow even appeared in Florida. Buildings were
destroyed, tornadoes raged, and lightning strikes caused more than $10
billion in damage. This storm will most likely be remembered as the 'Big
One'.
