The entire downtown district was | jolted as if by earthquake, | terrorized citizens to telephones, | quickly jamming police and news- | paper lines. The mushrooming blast, so deaf- ening that persons miles from the scene believed an atom bomb had fallen, left an estimated 500 surviv- ors homeless. | At least 100 families were fed m‘ emergency canteens and then trans- | ferred to housing projects for the night. Many of them lost all their possessions when the explosion tore up their homes. Property damage amounted to $1,000,000 and possibly may double that. The one-story O'Connor Elec- tro-Plating Works was virtually disintegrated. A dozen homes in the same block were demolished. Thirfy | others were said by city building inspectors to be unsafe until re- | paired. A total of 300 buildings were demolished or damaged.
