City of Sorrow Earthquake Toll List and Aftermath
Charleston earthquake devastation described in detail. Officials publish list of killed including Peter Powers and Annie Torch. Reports detail wrecked buildings, crushed street scenes, and rivers of mud, with Mount Pleasant surveys noting fresh water in wells and volcanic-like fissures across miles from the city. Police, courthouse, and notable structures sustain heavy damage as a massive shock disrupts life and transport near Jedburg and Summerville.
Earthquake Investigations Extend From Ten Mile Hill to Summerville
Prof. W T McGee of the United States geological survey traveled to Summerville on Friday to study the earthquake’s causes. He examined fissures and caverns near Ten Mile Hill and collected soil and water samples, suggesting local landslides rather than volcanic action. He noted nonuniform fissure directions and anticipated improved conditions soon as relief efforts organized and shelters prepared for refugees in Charleston and surrounding towns.
