Seattle Struck By 56 MPH Gale Wrecks Homes
A 56 mile per hour gale hit Seattle causing houseboats to be ruined, a house toppled at 45 degrees, wires down, and scores of people injured or endangered. A nine year old boy was seriously hurt when a flagpole fell on him at York school grounds, while others suffered bruises and cuts from debris. Lake Washington residents fled as the wind and waves forced evacuations, with phone lines down and power off across the city for hours. Authorities reported wind records and noted some vessels dragged anchors or broke tow lines while Seattle bridges and streets faced widespread damage.
