built 478 days ago
The year 1938 saw Maestro Toscanini complete his first season of broadcasting and the first half of his second season. It saw concerts of an increasing number of symphony orchestras presented by broadcasters, including, of course, the long-standing and beloved New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra concerts of the Columbia Broadcasting System every Sunday afternoon, as well as a wide variety of chamber music and vocal ensembles. The performances of the Metropolitan Opera Company were broadcast as usual, and, as usual, were received with great appreciation throughout the continent.

At the time of landfall on central Long Island, sustained winds in the 1938 hurricane have been estimated at 115 to 120-mph. However, the extreme [F]orward speed of the storm (estimated at up to 50-mph) increased the winds on the right side of the storm to much stronger values. Some conservative estimates place the peak winds to the east of the center at 150-mph along the immediate coastline.
