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.

Wait, nope. Fabian was fired after his disastrous 2003 performance and replaced by Fred. Pardon my French, but fuck Fred!

@abfabinri Yea... the East End of Long Island got hit.

Picture John Hope today broadcasting with all the new technology. I lived in Nassau, NY when Gloria hit. Mother nature is exciting to me, so I headed south and arrived on the beach (West End 2). Ten other explorers and myself could barely stand the sand stinging your skin. The waves had covered most of the 80 foot beach, spraying their fury with sand upon all that was near. On the way home, the police had closed the parkway south. I was lucky to experience this rage of nature!

Back when TWC was The Weather Channel and actually put out a quality production.
