More like 1 in 750. 

In fact we're far more likely to see a LI express than a Sandy. 

True, but 38 was far far far worse for areas east of the Nassau Suffolk border. Cat 3 winds and a tremendous surge that can only be estimated between 15-20’.

Then there’s 1635 which is the king of north east hurricanes

Yeah based on sediment samples 1635 could've been a low end cat 4 apparently.

any track maps of that one?  Would be curious to see where it originated from

Details are pretty sketchy given the time period, but it brushed OBX before landfalling somewhere around RI with a nearly 20 foot surge. It is believed to have been a Cape Verde system, from what I understand.
