Louisiana & Alabama Hurricane, Sept - Oct 1860 - Sugar Region Damages
The Storm in the Interior
The Sugar Region
The storm in the sugar region west of the Mississippi river was even more severe than it proved in this city. Its extent also was much greater than had been anticipated, proving that in its diameter it was as remarkable as in the destructive results which have followed. Yesterday we gave some particulars of the wreck caused on the coast above this city. The rumors of destruction that were then in the street have been fully confirmed, and the list of losses appended, furnished us after they have in part been made public, are reliable. Such a list of disaster had not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant been chronicled as the following:
