than $1OOU,0OO worth of damage was
inflicted
out Of a blazing sky under which the
city was swcltering, with the tenn
perature near the 100 point, came the
storm from the north. The wind at
tanned a velocity Of seventy miles an
hour. and the rainfall for eighteen min
utes was one and one-half inches. The
hail. which broke hundreds of windows,
caused extensive damage. some OF the
hailstorms being more than a half inch
in diameter.
The White House met the full force
of the storm, and ten trees in the
grounds surrounding it we're destroyed,
six Of them being uprooted. The big
elm. the largest tree on the grounds.
just at the east Of the north portico,
was blown down. This tree was plant
ed by President Cleveland during his
first administration and was one Of
the historic landmarks.
