1938 - A great hurricane smashed into Long Island and bisected New England causing a massive forest blowdown and widespread flooding. Winds gusted to 186 mph at Blue Hill MA, and a storm surge of nearly thirty feet caused extensive flooding along the coast of Rhode Island. The hurricane killed 600 persons and caused 500 million dollars damage. The hurricane, which lasted twelve days, destroyed 275 million trees. Hardest hit were Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Long Island NY. The ""Long Island Express"" produced gargantuan waves with its 150 mph winds, waves which smashed against the New England shore with such force that earthquake-recording machines on the Pacific coast clearly showed the shock of each wave.

Ruby is an unincorporated community in Stafford County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.
Ruby was formerly the site of the Ruby Post Office, which moved to Lake Arrowhead in the late 1970s. As a United States Post Office site, the community had appeared in world atlases. The post office had been combined with a general store, which later closed, hence its move to Lake Arrowhead. The community around the old post office is still called Ruby but remains unincorporated.
