exception.
The lashing ladies from the
tropics dealt the Western Hem
isphere a 81 billion blow in 1855,
half Of it in the United States.
It was far and away the most
destructive hurricane season In
history, so far as property dam
age is concerned. Out Of 1t came
a new champion in the field Of
death and havoc. Her name was
not Connie, nor Diane. the high
ly publicized pair who dealt the
East Coast a one-two punch.
It was Janet, who concen-
trated her fury in the southern
waters but spread disaster wher-
ever she struck. She rates with
the great storms Of history IN
power, in damage. in death. No
one will ever know how many
people she killed.
Once more the fury Of many
storms was pointed at the North
eastern States, raising again the
question whether they are fol-
lowing a cycle in that area.
Their old stamping ground, Flor

rains have fallen on the State
