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.

Sumatra is an unincorporated community in far northwestern Rosebud County, Montana, United States. It consists of a church and a post office, with respective houses, surrounded by open ranch land.
Sumatra was established in 1905 as a station stop, called Summit, on the Milwaukee Road. The town name was changed to Sumatra, after an Indonesian island, with the opening of the post office in 1910.
Roger Youderian born in Sumatra (January 21, 1924 – January 8, 1956) was an American Christian missionary to Ecuador of Armenian descent who, along with four others, was killed while attempting to evangelize the Huaorani people through efforts known as Operation Auca.
