Hurricane Violet was a very powerful tropical cyclone that caused unprecedented havoc in Boston. Violet brought 155 mph winds to Boston, 70+ inches of rain that overflowed the Charles River and submerged the central buisness district (CBD) of Boston. Fortunatly, many Boston citizens had escaped by now. Over 1,000,000 buildings were demolished. $432 billion was left behind, quadrupling Katrina's record.
