Havoc In All Parts
of the City.

CLEVELAND O.. Sept. with the
breaking Of dawn Sunday morning the
citizens of Cleveland awokc to look up
on Il scene of unparalleled devastation
and destruction caused by raging flood.
While the entire city was more or less
affected the great volume of raging wa
ter vented its anger over miles of the
eastern portion of the city and caused an
amount of damage approXmated ut ST.
100000.
The appalling overflow was caused by
n terrific rain that commenced to fall
shortly after , O'Clock. turned into a per-
feet cloudburst between the hours of 3
and . and then continued with great
force until nearly 10 o'clock. The Storm
according to the weather officials. was
the heaviest that ever swept over Cleve-
land since the establishment of the gov
ernment bureau in this city over forty
years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing
short Of Il miracle, as stories of thrilling
escapes from the water on several of the
principal resident streets of the city are
told
The surging waters spread over an
area in the east end nearly eight miles
long and ii mile and II half wide. This
extended from Woodland Hills avenue to
East Cleveland and back to East Madi-
son avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Giddings brooks down
Quincy street, swampcd Vienna street.
rushed over Cedar avenue back over on
East Prospect street, rushed ike n mill
race down Lincoln avenue to Euclid ave
nue. and then on to Glen Park place,
where houses were undermined rs though
built of straw and almost incredible dam
age done to streets and property.
Over large share of the exclusive
residence territory the water rushed with
terrific force varying in depth from one
70 six feet CulVcrtS, trestles and
bridges were torn down and for hours
nothing seemed capable Of stcmming the
tide
Hundreds of residents who were iu-
prisoncd in their beautiful homes like
stranded islanders were almost panic
stricken, expecting to hc called upon to
wade ont into the swirling waters at al
most every minute Danger signals were
flashed about the city as speedily as the
disabled telephone system would allow
and the work of rescue commenced. Row
boats piled back and forth. assisting
whole families from porilous positions,
but these proved ritifully inadequate, ani
II was soon found necessary to go to The
