THE AUGUSTA DAILY HERALD VOLUME XV. No. 291. VAST DAMAGE, EXTENT AS YET UNKNOWN, IN SOUTH FLORIDA BY STORM STILL RAGING From Tampa on West to St. Augustine on East Coast Cut Off From World. KEY WEST’S LAST WORD WIND VELOCITY 90 MILES Fear Heavy Toll of Human Life Besides Killions of Loss In Property. Jacksonville, Fla.—The tropicai hur ricane here by noon was so threaten ing that schools were dismissed for the day. A tug boat was sent to St. George Island to bring off the family of the late Governor X. B. Broward, to a place of greater safety. A heavy tide damaged local docks this morning. The wire to Tampa was restored momen tarily this forenoon but did not hold long enough to furnish any news of the situation in that section. At 4:20 this morning The Associated Press wire from Jacksonville to Tam pa, the last single thread of commu nication with any poi.it in the storm swept territory south of this place, was severed. At a few minutes past 5 o’clock the local offices of the Western Union reported that the pros pect of re-establishing communication this morning appeared slight. With the entire Florida peninsula south of a line from Tampa on the Gulf coast to St. Augustine on the Atlantic without communication of any kind to the outside world since 6 o'clock last night when a wind veloc ity varying from TO to 90 miles an hour was reported, accompanied by 111-boding barometric changes, the ef fect of the \Vest Indian hurricane in this vast trucking and fruit growing belt is a matter of conjecture today. Few Brief Bulletins. That the property damage has been heavy, however, 13 indicated by the few brief bulletins that oarne from the east coast and the extreme south ern keys before communication was finally cut off last night. Conserva tive estimates- place the loss to the orange growers alone at one million dollars. Trucking has suffered heavily, the Florida Kv-t Coast railroad is be lieved to have sustained many thou sands of dollars damage and the prop erty damage along the 300 miles of the Atlantic Coast south of St. Augustine probably will Surpass that of any hur ricane of recent years. It is feared that not a few lives have been claim ed by the storm. Water in Streets. The last message from Key West reported a wind velocity of 90 miles an hour, a barometer reading 28.80, hlgn sens and water rising to alarm ing depths in the streets. Shortly after that message was sent the wireless apparatus, the last remaining means of communication failed. Fast year a similar disturbance wrought 12,000,- 000 in this extreme Southern city and resulted in a. small los3 of life. The last message from St. ifcjgus tine reported the waves rushing over the seawall, endangering property on the water front while the marshes for miles around were already inundated. The wind was increasing and the barometer foiling. Similar reports came from Fort Pierce and Titusville before communication failed. Early this morning the wind grew less violent here and shifted from northeast to east, indicating that the storm would cross the peninsula and pass to sea about 100 miles south of Jacksonville. East Coast Suffers. Many miles of the Florida Bast Coast railroad were under water last night, serious washouts had occurred, several barges employed on the roads extension had been sunk and traffla over most of the line has been aban doned. For miles this road actual ly bridges vast stretches of the ocean with massive concrete arohee and al though forewarned, fears are entered for the working orews employed on the lower extension. The officials of the road have done everything pos sible to protect the lives of its em ployes and express the belief that an Fought safety before the height of ths hurricane struok the coast. Abandon Traffic. Railroad trafflo on all lines south of Jacksonville practically has been abandoned. The telegraph companies report practically all wires down south of this plaoe and It may be sev eral days before communication Is re established with the storm swept ter ritory. The last dispatch from Tampa, re ceived shortly before daylight read: "South Florida faces a disaster un known in extent, hut which It is {ear ed will be as bad, as the memorable freese of ISM. As yet Tampa has rot felt the full furoe of this eddying dee’royw, ‘ln that territory wbloh stretches between Tampa and Punta Gorda l!e many small hamlets, where thousand* of fertile scree on which luxuriant citrus trees bear their golden offer ings, and some of Florida’s richest orange groves are exposed to the hur ricane.

It left Florida Just south of Tampa for the Atlantic, and will now either dissipate or more off to the northeast All reports from the stations at Tampa, Jupiter, and Key West have been out off; none were received up until 10:30 o’clock this morning. The wires are supposed to be down. Re ports from Jacksonville this morning state that the highest wind there last night was a 36-mile northeast wind. This morning at 8 o’clock the wind in Jacksonville had decreased to 30 miles an hour, with the barometer standing at 29.54 inches. The baro metric reading hero at S o’clock this morning was 29.86 inolies, with very little fluctuation, though there were severe slight indications of its rising. Mr. Emigh, the local U. S. Weather Forecaster said that there was no further danger of damage on land. At ed ping-pong with street signs, upset closed cabs, tangled telephone and electric light wires and stripped small craft in the bay of their rigging. Liners at Anchor. "Not since early yesterday after noon has there been any communica tion with Punta Gorda and othef smaller towns south of Tampa. In coming trains from that section brought news of high winds, inter rupted telegraphic service, damaged shipping and damaged orange groves. Nothing has been heard here from in terior points. “In every port along the Gulf sea board large and small craft nestle beneath the protecting lee of some frugal sand key. So heavy has been the sea that ocean going liners have refused to leave their berths and only one boat has come into this port in five days.” Don’t Expect Full Force. Charleston, S. C.—At 8 o’clock this morning the wind velocity here was 28 miles per hour and the barometric reading 29.81. The barometer ap pears .to be rising, according to Fore caster Grant, who i 3 not apprehensive, at this time, of the hurricane striking Charleston In full force. Shipping in the harbor is taking precautions and a number of sailing vessels and steamers have gone up the river to escape the storm should it come. People o n the neighboring sea islands are coming into the city, having been warned of their danger. The wireless station is endeavoring to send warnings to such steamers off the coast as have not been advised of the nearness of the hurricane and its probable course. Memory of tho disaster wrought by the hurricane of August, 1893, has Increased the nev oubcess hoe. During the hurricane of 1893 the most destructive in the history of this city, a score of Uvea were lost about the city and property damage of some what more than two and a half million dollars wrought. On the sea Islands, particularly about Beaufort, the loss of human life was heavy, hundreds be ing drowned. At Charleston the ane mometer was wrecked, the wind vel ocity being estimated at 125 miles per hour by the weather bureau.* The tide rose high above normal, scores of build ings being Inundated on the ground floors. For months negro survivors on the sea islands suffered severely despite the relief efforts. Hurricane Signals Fly. Savannah, Ga.— At 7 o’clock this moning the velocity of the wind had reached thirty miles an hour and is apparently increasing steadily. The barometer at 9 o’clock read 29.76, having steadily declined since yes terday. The hurricane signals have replaced the northeast storm signals ot yesterday. Shipping in the harbor is preparing for the expected blow and taking all precautions. It Is ex pected that later in the day the local wireless station will get in communi cation with vessel* at sea and warn those which have not already receiv ed a warning.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 18, 1910. 8 a. m. here today the wind was blow ing at the rate of 16 miles an hour and at 10 A m. it reached a velocity of 23 miles an hour, and reports indicated brisk winds all day. These winds here are subsequently caused from the storm that has Just passed Into ttie Atlantic. The temperature here this morning at 8 o'clock was just the same as at 8 o’clock yesterday morn ing. A person may feel cooler today than yesterday but this Is accounted for in the fact that the atmosphere Is very dry and that the perspiration la absorbed quickly by the brisk winds. The temperature all over the country now Is moderate. Mr. Emigh said this morning that not much cool er weather was expected on acoount of the storm. He also said that the recent storm was a very late one. Usually the months of August, Sep tember, and the first of October bring storms. On account of the stortn only passing through three United Statos weather stations It has been difficult to plot, and an actual diagram of the storm has probably not been made, at all. ed with lnrushing seawater today while the wind and waves are still rising with no Indication of when their limit will be reached. The water is pouring over the seawall from the highest storm tide in 16 years. It 1* feared that tonight’s tide will be still worse and that it will sweep high over the city. Bo far there has been no loss of life and the property damage Is con fined mainly to the unroofing of a few houses, the tearing down of s tew porches and the uprooting of trees, all due to the wind. All last night rockets were fired In tho city to warn the residents of out lying sections of their peril. The roar of the seas pounding on the sea wall could be heard at times above the storm’s howling. This morning found street car traffic tied up, some of the cars standing deep In the water The prospects were thnt no trains would be able to arrive or leave the city during tho day. Telephone lines began going down in the wind blown wreckage today, adding a new difficulty to the already restricted means of communication. All phy sical communication with the wire less station on Anastatla Island was cut off by the raging spa By 9 o’clock this morning the wind was blowing 60 miles an hour. The last reports before wires went down south of here ulong the Florida East Coast were that the wind’s velocity on the exposed keys was terrme BATTING ORDER Chicago. ~ ,jj Philadelphia.
