Two other actors were injured. ■ Another man was drowned through his canoe capsizing. Roofs were torn off houses and business buildings, and electric wires # were fusqd, throwing offices and theatres into darkness, The wind at one time attained hurricane force, and after the storm 500 trees were found to have been uprooted in the parks. A brick wall 40ft long was blown down, the debris crashing on to a passing motor-car and killing a woman occupant.
