1882: AN EQUINOCTIAL STORM HITS CENTRAL JERSEY

From the "WEATHER RELATED" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection, this very large article details the incredible damage a torrential rail storm cause to the Mercer County area back in 1892. Bridges were washed away, hundreds of building destroyed, and the above report details some of the disastrous results of the storm.
NOTE: THE SIZE OF THIS GRAPHIC WILL REQUIRE A LARGE LCD COMPUTER DISPLAY. IT WILL PROBABLY BE TOO SMALL AND BLURRY FOR THE OLD CRT (CATHODE RAY TUBE) MONITOR WHICH MANY STILL USE. IT IS BARELY LEGIBLE ON MY 19" LCD MONITOR.
