Area crops (including corn and tobacco) were beaten into the ground. 1776: Called the Pointe-à-Pitre hurricane, this storm is one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricanes on record.

Hot town (late) summer in the city. Classic look - no pesty clouds or random energy 850 MB temps >17c - 19c. The heat is on. Record highs for many. I think today tops Thu due to clouds coming later Thu, should thet be delayed then Thu also get / mid and upper 90s. Not sure we get the century mark but wouldnt shock me. Last one in Newark was 1993. Trough slow to move through pumping southerly flow with loads of moisture so we'll see how much storms and rain come through Thu - Sun. Beyond there dry out Mon later / Tue before back with next trough/ front the middle of next week 9/13. Then all eyes on Lee but suspect the W Atlantic Ridge anchored enough to keep things interesting LI/NE timing is 9/15 - 9/17. IN the wake of Lee should see a cooler NW flow before an overall warmer than normal final 1/3 of the month. Whether or not there is more late heat will depend on ridge position later in the month. Hot fun in the summer - heat , tropics fun fun fun till the daddy takes the W.A.R away.
