Hurricane Gloria 1985 - Weather Channel - PART #1 of 5 -

PART 1

Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island, New York on September 27th 1985 at approximately 9am. This was the last Hurricane to directly hit our area, it is now 2007 and 22 years since Gloria, we are long overdue for another like this or greater. This i recorded back in 1985 from the Weather Channel not only the Hurricane hitting Long Island, but broadcasts from weeks before when Glori was nothing but a mass of Thundershowers moving off the African Coast, to the Bildup to a Catergory 5 in the Carribean, to Tropical Storm Henri that hit Long Island 2 days prior to Gloria, to The uncertain landfall of Gloria, to the power going out on my VCR as i lost electricity with the Hurricane over Islip.
The total clip is 40 minutes, i had to break this up into 5 parts to fit, this is part #1.. This will show you where a Long Island bound Hurricane can form & the perfect track this Storm took.. Lucky for Long Island, it struck at a dead low tide & skirting the Outer Banks of North Carolina had helped to diminish the punch that it once had. It is amazing to think that this was 22 years ago & even more amazing that there has been nothing since that was direct. Albeit nothing like the "Long Island Express" of 1938, Hurricane Gloria was a borderline Catergory 2 upon landfal in Seaford, Long Island where the eye passed over.

THERE ARE MORE PARTS TO THIS, PLEASE CHECK MY VIDEOS, I HAD TTO BREAK THIS UP INTO 5 PARTS.
