l?j Wind.
Tbe S'ate, Saturday.
Yesterday thousands of Columbians
blew around the corner of Main and j
Washington streets to see and hear
and dodge the fall of the Palmetto
building. Many of these who braved
the breeze were sorry they went,
included the men who wore!
hats.
For everybody early yesterday morn-!
i
ing?as early as 3 o'clock predicted j
that the high wind would create havoc
?said havoc consisting of Palmetto
building (not yet completed), Union.
National Bank building (not yet com-j
pleted) and the wire of the Postal j
Telegraph company, the Western Un-I
ioy Telegraph company, the Bell Telephone
company and the Columbia I
Street Railway, Light and Gas company
(all completed).
Those visiting the scenes of the
wreckage and those who were not;
blown away testified yesterday that
the breeze was decidedly breezy. Ex- 1
? * - ^ J- - '
perls said that tne I'auneuu UUUUlUg
"was out of plumb" goto? up The,'
Union National Bank building stood:
pst.
The gale blew the upper stories of ;
the steel frame-work several i::chcsj
out c: plumb.
John J. Cain, the contract>" who is!
erecting the Palmetto building, saicij
i?iat the havoc wrought by the wind
w&s of little consequence. Ic was eas-|
\$y remedied yesterday by guy ropes j
i* the hands of the men who are put- j
, ting up the steel. Mr. Cain said that !
1~ ,-vl,, mKor? 1
the frame-wort -was Deiug
as the rivets were driven home and
that the upper stories of the building
were held in place merely by bolts.
This accounts for the fact that the
building was blown out of plumb.
The upper stories were restored to the
perpendicular yesterday without any
trouble.
The big steel frarn* building at the
fair grounds, in which the main exposition
will be located, withstood the
gale well.. No damage was done to it
* - a warning" mes
oy nit; nigu muu. w
sage was issued to those in the buildings
on law range to vacate. The |
warning was issued by Chief May?
WIND BLEW FRIDAY.
Storm Friday Moraing Accompanied
by High Wiads.* Followed
by Cold.
!'
Speaking of the weather?everybody
was doing it Friday. There was so
much weather that it crowded out ev
j
ery other thought and interest, anui
people could scarcely do any work for
discussing the storm and relating
, their experience of the night before, j
Those who live ;n frame houses told 1
how the structures rocked and shook
until the very beds swayed, and everybody
could relate a tale of banging
tolinds and smashing panes and creaking
and groaning trees.
It was a very severe wind storm and
a very unusual one, so said Mr. Gereu
of the Columbia weather bureau. Its
undsual feature lay in .the fact that
it was not one of the customary Westj
iT^i^ hurricanes but was an inland j
blow and for such a storm was very
intense. In Columbia the wind averaged
40 miles an hour Thursday from
3 a. m. until daylight, the highest
Telocity being 52 miles an hour, maintained
for five minuttes.
"We do not measure less than a
mile," Mr. Gereu explained, "and so
we do not get each gust, of course
and I am sure some of tthose Thursday
night easily reached a velocity
f 70 miles an hour."
Height of Storm.
The height of the storm in Columbia
was reached at about 3:30 o'clock
Friday morning for the barometer}
stood still during that quarter of an
hour and then began to rise. The wind
however, did not lull perceptibly after
that but kept up the furious howll
through the remaining hours of dark-j
ness. It rained considerably too, the j
downpour adding at times to the gen-]
eral bedlam. However, only .18 of an
inch fell.
The temperature Thursday night wa?
quite moderate until between 3 and
4 o'clock when there wac a short drop
ot several degrees. Prom that time
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon
the highest temperature was 41 and
the lowest 38.
This storm was central Thursday
night over Alabama and moved northeast,
increasing considerably in
intensity as it advanced. Calculating
roughtly its centre passed about 200
miles from Columbia toward the nortnwestem
part of the State. Columbia
was just about in the eastern quadrant
of the storm and as the winds
of generally highest in this quadrant,
it is probable that it was in this1 section
that the storm wag at its serer
So'illi Carolina.
Oi' course the dread and fear of the
1
storm vanished with the coming ol' the
morning and with the tempering 111
slight decree of the wind, but the dis?
7
comfort naturally increased with the.
necessity to go forth and face tile gale.
It kept up an average of 3G miles j
during the forenoon ana 01 auout 01
or 3U until sunset. Women tied their :
I
small hats tightly on with veils and
held Iheir large hats securely with1
both hands. .Most of the men grasped j
their hats firmly too, and those who j
didn't grasp chased and finally fished j
the sportive head wear out of a drain i
or a puddle. During the early part of j
the day there were lots of convenient
puddles. Later 011 these dried out but |
there was a plenty of dust to add.
difficulty to the chase.
