The 1893 New York hurricane, also known as the Midnight Storm, was a powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that struck the New York City area in August 1893.

 It turned due northward as it approached the U.S. East Coast and struck western Long Island on August 24.
 It moved inland and quickly deteriorated, degenerating the next day.

Rockland County is the southernmost county on the west side of the Hudson River in the U.S. state of New York, part of the New York–Newark–Jersey City, NY–NJ–PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
 The county's population, as of the 2010 census, was 311,687, increasing by 4.8% to a 2016 Census estimate of 326,780, making it the third most densely populated county outside of New York City within New York State (after Nassau and neighboring Westchester counties, respectively).
 The county seat is New City.
 Although Rockland County does not directly border any New York City boroughs, it lies only 9 miles northwest of the city at their closest points, and is accessible via the New York State Thruway, after 10 exits.
 The name derives from "rocky land", as the area was described by early Dutch and English settlers.

The Coney Island Cyclone (better known as simply the Cyclone) is a historic wooden roller coaster that opened on June 26, 1927, in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York City.
 On June 18, 1975, Dewey and Jerome Albert – owners of Astroland Park – entered into an agreement with New York City to operate the ride.
 Despite original plans by the city to scrap the ride in the early 1970s, the roller coaster was refurbished in the 1974 off-season and reopened on July 3, 1975.
 Astroland Park continued to invest millions over the years in the upkeep of the Cyclone.
 After Astroland closed in 2008, Carol Hill Albert, president of Cyclone Coasters, continued to operate it under a lease agreement with the city.
 In 2011, Luna Park took over operation of the Cyclone.
 It was declared a New York City landmark on July 12, 1988, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1991.

Hurricane Agnes was, at the time, the costliest hurricane to hit the United States in recorded history.
 The second tropical cyclone and first named storm of the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season, Agnes developed on June 14 from the interaction of a polar front and an upper trough over the Yucatán Peninsula.
 Initially forming as a tropical depression, the storm headed slowly eastward and emerged into the western Caribbean Sea on June 15.
 Once in the Caribbean, the depression began to strengthen, and by the following day, it became Tropical Storm Agnes.
 Thereafter, Agnes slowly curved northward and passed just west of Cuba on June 17.
 Early on June 18, the storm intensified enough to be upgraded to Hurricane Agnes.
 Heading northward, the hurricane eventually made landfall near Panama City, Florida late on June 19.
 After moving inland, Agnes rapidly weakened and was only a tropical depression when it entered Georgia.
 The weakening trend halted as the storm crossed over Georgia and into South Carolina.
 While over eastern North Carolina, Agnes re-strengthened into a tropical storm on June 21, as a result of baroclinic activity.
 Early the following day, the storm emerged into the Atlantic Ocean before re-curving northwestward and making landfall near New York City as a strong tropical storm.
 Agnes quickly became an extratropical cyclone on June 23, and tracked to the northwest of Great Britain before becoming absorbed by another cyclone on July 6.
