August 1635 CE

The tide in Narragansett Bay, reaches fourteen feet (four point three meters) above the ordinary tide and drowns eight Native Americans fleeing from their wigwams.

The highest ever such recorded value for a New England Hurricane, a twenty-two-foot (six point seven meter) storm tide, is recorded in some areas.
