Hurricane Carol was one of the worst hurricanes in New England, which is in United States. Carol formed from a tropical wave near the Bahamas on August 25, 1954.
Carol was like the New England Hurricane of 1938. Both were fast-moving storms. They also both hit the same area.[1] Carol was the most damaging United States hurricane at the time.[2]
