Devastating Coastal Storm Disrupts Rail and Shorefront
A severe coastal storm battered the region, flooding tracks and washing out sections from Everett to North Rye Beach. High tides and wrecked roads endangered cottages, with major damage at Wool Island life saving station and Hampton marshes. Fire broke out in a lumber yard during the high tide, destroying vast lumber and cement stocks. Telecommunication lines suffered, while electric service faced outages. Shipping was cautious with a schooner close to danger and a few vessels unloading lumber in exposed areas.
