Mobile, AL Hurricane, Oct 1893 - Farmer's Island Damage
Posted December 22nd, 2009 by Jenni Lanham
Farmer’s Island, in Alabama, Swept Bare.
Mobile, Ala., Special 4th
Reports of damage by the storm are coming in slowly. Railroads, shipping and mills are the heaviest losers, the amount aggregating nearly $1,000,000. The loss of human life cannot be estimated. Only two farm houses are standing on Farmer’s Island, opposite the city, out of a total of twenty-three. Relief expeditions to this section found a group of little children clinging to trees, their parents having been swept away.
The Landmark, Statesville, NC 12 Oct 1893
