MB - sciam.com OCTOBER 1900 THE GALVESTON DISASTER-"The special report by Isaac M. Cline, the Local Forecaster of the Weather Bureau at Galveston, verifies in the main the press reports of the recent disastrous hurricane. For a short time after 6:15 P.M. a maximum velocity of 100 miles per hour was recorded before the anemometer blew away. The tide at the Forecaster's residence at 7:30 P.M. is estimated in the report to have been 15.2 feet and rose, during the next hour, nearly 5 feet additional. ‘These observations,' says Mr. Cline, ‘were carefully taken.' By 8 P.M. a number of houses which had drifted and lodged against the Forecaster's house overthrew the building, and thirty-two persons out of the fifty who had taken refuge in it were hurled into eternity, including Mrs. Cline. The report states ‘conservative estimates place the loss of life at the appalling figure of 6,000.'" OCTOBER 1850 KOPS-"The city of Pittsburgh has now two bodies of night watchmen, one appointed by the Mayor, and the other by the Police Committee. Their duties, so far, have been confined to arresting each other." Regards, Don
