BeanoNYC said:The only island to completely disappear from a hurricane (from what I understand) was off of Breezy Point on the Rockaway Peninsula (Geographically Long Island, but part of NYC.) It was a vacation island for the wealthy and political elite of NYC, such as Boss Tweed. "Hog Island" blew away in the 1890's. To this day, dishes and other artifacts from Hog Island will wash up out in Breezy Point. I would do anything to get my find a piece of history like that on the beach.
