GREAT ATLANTIC HURRICANE 1944: (1 of 2). Thanks to John Forster of the Australian PreWar Buick E-Mag. It was 1944 when these folk found themselves pushing a well used 1929 Flxble ambulance in Brigantine, New Jersey. Now if we had to speculate, we might propose that this had some- thing to do with the Great Atlan tic Hurricane which struck the east coast of the USA on 13-14 September, 1944. Of course there may be no connection. Brigantine is located in Atlantic County, New Jersey and its only connection to the mainland at that time was a single bridge constructed in 1924 and destroyed in that storm event in 1944. Perhaps the roll out of the 1929 ambulance was necessitated due to what must have been a temporary isolation from the mainland. Brigantine was a relatively new development at the time, however our aerial photo of the area taken in 1944 still shows it to be quite devastated.
