Part of the 1815 Atlantic hurricane season
The Great September Gale of 1815 (the word "hurricane" was not yet current in American English) is one of five "major hurricanes" (Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale) to strike New England since 1635.[2] At the time it struck, the Great September Gale was the first hurricane to strike New England in 180 years.[3]
After striking on Long Island, the hurricane caused major damage in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.[4] Rhode Island suffered the worst damage, as the storm surge flooded towns along Narragansett Bay up to and including Providence.[5]
