The Great Generational Storm

The Great Generational Storm refers to a series of devastating hurricanes and tropical storms that occurred in the Atlantic Ocean during the 1930s and early 1940s. This period saw unusually intense and frequent hurricanes causing widespread destruction along coastlines from the Caribbean to the southeastern United States. The storm activity was remarkable in its severity and number, leading to the term "Great" and "Generational" to highlight its extraordinary impact across a single generation. This era underscored the importance of understanding hurricane patterns, improving forecasting, and strengthening infrastructure to better withstand such powerful natural events.
