A groundbreaking account of the cataclysmic hurricane of 1938 and its devastating impact on New England's inland forests

The hurricane that pummeled the northeastern United States on September 21, 1938, was New England's most damaging weather event ever. To call it "New England's Katrina" might be to understate its power. Without warning, the storm plowed into Long Island and New England, killing hundreds of people and destroying roads, bridges, dams, and buildings that stood in its path. Not yet spent, the hurricane then raced inland, maintaining high winds into Vermont and New Hampshire and uprooting millions of acres of forest. This book is the first to investigate how the hurricane of '38 transformed New England, bringing about social and ecological changes that can still be observed these many decades later.

The hurricane's impact was erratic--some swaths of forest were destroyed while others nearby remained unscathed; some stricken forests retain their prehurricane character, others have been transformed. Stephen Long explores these contradictions, drawing on survivors' vivid memories of the storm and its aftermath and on his own familiarity with New England's forests, where he discovers clues to the storm's legacies even now. Thirty-Eight is a gripping story of a singularly destructive hurricane. It also provides important and insightful information on how best to prepare for the inevitable next great storm.

Good Disposable Pans for Entertaining
Size: 9*13 Aluminum Pans
I recently purchased a 30-pack of 9×13 aluminum pans for a few gatherings and heavy cooking sessions, and they’ve turned out to be quite useful. I used them for baking lasagna, roasting vegetables, and even transporting casseroles to potlucks. Because they’re disposable, cleanup has been a breeze. After a meal, I didn’t have to worry about scrubbing or losing my regular baking dish. The pans stack neatly, so storage before use doesn’t take much space, and carrying multiple pans at once is manageable when boxed. That said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The edges are a little flimsy — if you grab a fully loaded one carelessly, it can bend; that is kinda expected though. Also, for very sticky or sugary crusts, I found a liner beneath helpful to avoid stuck bits. Overall, these aluminum pans work well for large meals, catered dishes, or occasions when you don’t want to worry about returning dishware. They’re practical, convenient, and strong enough for most everyday cooking needs.

Does the job well
Material Type: Recycled Fiber
Bought others and keep coming back they aren’t Scott. I like that it’s thick but not too thick. It’s not too soft but it does the job well. Other rolls also say they have the same amount of squint they don’t go as far. Worth the money

Good price and good quality
Material Type: Recycled Fiber, Material Type: Recycled Fiber
I have been subscribing to this Scott Professional toilet paper for over ten years, and it has never disappointed. The 100% recycled fiber rolls are durable and absorbent, and the 2-ply construction offers the comfort and quality we expect from a premium toilet paper. The bulk packaging and subscription model are extremely convenient, delivering every four months—exactly when we need to restock—so we never run out. Over the years, I’ve found this toilet paper to be consistently reliable, making it perfect for long-term use in our household. The product provides excellent value for money, especially considering the combination of quality, eco-friendliness, and bulk quantity. I also appreciate the punctual delivery and ease of subscription management, which eliminates any worry about running low. Whether for home or office use, I highly recommend Scott Professional 2-ply toilet paper for anyone looking for a practical, high-quality, and eco-conscious option that keeps bathrooms well-stocked without hassle.

Better than regular scotts brand
Material Type: Recycled Fiber
It is 2 ply it's not super soft but it's not paper hard either. It's a blend of both. It is absorbent. Septic safe. Does not stick to ur bottom. Lasts much longer. Not so thick but thicker and softer than regular scotts brand.
