Storm Leaves Ruin In Path In This Section
A powerful early year storm struck Elizabeth and surrounding areas around 7 PM causing substantial property damage and traffic delays on the Tosa trolley lines and Staten Island Bound. A new Saybrook residence at 4 Long Avenue owned by John Schmidt was destroyed by lightning, valued at 5000 dollars with 1800 dollars insured. Outer Brunswick avenue saw a high wind ruin a house under construction, about 1000 dollars lost. Storm forced crafts to seek shelter and disrupted shorefront activity as trolleys froze and wires burned, with heavy rain and thunder.
