Pelham Was Hammered by Three Successive Hurricanes in Six Weeks in 1893

The tiny little Town of Pelham has been in the bull's-eye of numerous massive storms, not the least of which is the recent storm known as "Super Storm Sandy" that pounded the region on October 28, 2012. Another brutal example occurred in 1938, when Pelham was devastated by the massive hurricane that came to be known as the "Long Island Express," one of the most violent and destructive storms ever to pound the northeast.
