Storm Came from Lakes.
All Thursday the storm he'd been
brewing in the West. Three separate
storm centres were noted by the
Weather Bureau, one overhangirg Man
itoba, another above Arkansas and the
third over the m!d-Gulf coast. Within
twenty-four hours the storm centres
had merged over Lake Michigan and
barometers along the Atlantic coast
were falling like plummets.
AS the store tore eastward storm
warnings were set from Jacksonville
to Passport, Me. Passing over New
York, the big wind boomeranged back
The manner of Its return was as IN
usual as the conditions under which it
found force.
The forerunning breeges Of the storm
began to drift of the sea at midnight
At 8 o'clock in the morning gales we're
general the full length of the coast.
BY 10 o'clock the storm was racing in
land at seventy-one miles an hour. A
half hour later the seventy-two-mile
notch was slipped Three more miles
would have made the big wind full
nedRed hurricane
But even without the extra three
miles Of velocity the storm was mag
nifed into something better-or worse
than hurricane by New York's man
made leaves Of the winds"
Driving before it a singing rain that
swept the streets clean of humanity,
the big wind tossed exposed signs from
roofs and played billiards with such

Scores Of pedestrians, chiefly women,
were lifted from their feet and thrown

Thousands Of panes Of glass were
blown In and other thousands blown

At the Manhattan terminal of the
Brooklyn Bridge five wagons, one 9

clear Of the pavement and smashed
against the west curb. Under the arch

there were q number Of passengers on
