Great flu Pandemic 1918-1919
The first recorded cases of virulent influenza in the United States occured in Boston. On August 27th, 1918 several sailors at the Commonwealth Pier reported sick with influenza. By the next day, there were eight new cases. On the third day, August 29th, there were 58 cases. These men were sent to the Chelsea Naval Hospital; from this hospital, the disease spread rapidly into the city of Boston and the rest of the state...
In Boston, however, state officials were correct in assuming that the situation had begun to improve slightly. By late October, the city's death rate had probably dropped to fifty deaths from influenza per day. If true, this would have been a dramatic improvement as the PHS estimated that there had been at least 4,000 deaths from influenza between September 8th and October 25th alone.
...As ground-zero for the pandemic, Massachusett's became a focal point for post-pandemic studies. In the late 1920's, to PHS statisticians estimated that between September 1, 1918 and January 16, 1919, approximately 45,000 people died from influenza in Massachusetts alone. Horrific as these figures are, many historians believe that the number of influenza-related deaths in Massachusetts during this period was probably higher.

KING PHILLIP"S WAR (yes I'm a history buff)
The war was the single greatest calamity to occur in seventeenth-century Puritan New England. In the space of little more than a year, twelve of the region's towns were destroyed and many more damaged, the colony's economy was all but ruined, and much of its population was killed, including one-tenth of all men available for military service.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] More than half of New England's towns were attacked by Native American warriors.[SUP][7][/SUP]

For those of you who are more experienced New Englanders, can you give me a few examples of some of the more challenging NE disasters?

Holy crap. Was there somebody in that white van? Looks like the thing was going down the road when the tree took it out.
Molasses flood?
Are you suggesting it as a candidate or asking "What do you mean by molasses flood?"
Google it. Very interesting story of what happened in Boston a long time ago.
