Cyclone Devastates Carteret Sparking Destruction
A Kansas style cyclone struck Carteret yesterday afternoon tearing houses from foundations and uprooting trees. A flood of rain followed as roofs were pierced by wind driven debris injuring none fatally but leaving many homeless and streets littered with broken glass and wreckage. Animals suffered minimal harm while power lines and wires sparked across flooded avenues. The storm's fury uprooted oaks and sent debris through town as residents faced a long cleanup ahead.
