The winds must be terrific to bulid up such pressure as that which forced a/| thin shingle through the cornice | of a rooftop in the 1909 blow. . A froup got talking about th: 1$09 hurricane. It was in a cof- f2e shop and ine men were wait ing for the 9 a. m. call to work. “Old man. Gray, a _ photugra- pher, was the only, person killed in the 1909: blow”, rematked Ray- mond Navarro,.who operates" ‘a’ sightseeing bus. “The funny thing was that his body was found in Garrison Bight, although he went off South Beach to res- cue a sailboat he had there. No one knows whether he was blown “The winds that year blew the roof off the barns at No. 1 fire station and killed all the horses”, said Frank J. (Pilot) Roberts, as- sistant county tax assessor. “The same wind blew down the large furniture store run by Reedy’s at Simonton and Greene streets.” “Several churches were ruin- ed by the same storm,” interject- over the island or around it.” ed Navarro. “Among them were |Singer and other type, sewing St. Paul’s Church, the Seach | Churches and two of three ne- gro churches.” “I remember, Ray, that J. M. | Navarro’s cigar factory, which was in Pohalski Village, was among others that collapsed in 1909”, then said Roberts. | “Yes, there were several other | cigar factories severely damaged,” responded Navarro. “The Navy’s | losses were rather heavy, too. 1} remember the coal shed at the | and came up with | such | Westers | full time, we have just the thing you need.
