Crocker L LAMEDA, Feb. ' 25—During the 3\} terrific southeaster which blew over the city shortly before noon to-day a large new two-story resi- dence on the east side of Broad- way, near Encinal avenue, was picked up bogily from its foundations by the hurri- cane, carried ten feet and hurled, twisted and shattered against the house of Dr. John Robertson. The house is the property of John Gale and was in the final stages of completion. Gale was in the building when it began to creak and rock in the heavy blow and rushed from the strueture just as it start- ed to move northward and collapse. As he jumped to the ground falling boards he escaped injury. From external appearances the wrecked residence looks as if it had gone through a dynamite explosion. Weather boarding is ripped ‘off and strong timbers and brace beams are skewed about at every con- celvable angle. Had it not been for Rob- ertson’s house ‘staying the progress of the flving building it would have gone much Gale and a force of carpenters had been at work on the residence for nearly a| month. He estimates his loss in the neighborhood of $1000. The building will have to be torn apart, carried back to its original site and rebuilt. With the exception of several broken | windows and defacing caused by protrud- ing timbers of the falling building, the | Robertson house escaped damage. | - IN OAKXKLAND. Streams Run Bank Full and Ferry- Boats Are Hampered. OAKLAND, Feb. ‘The effects of a downpour of nearly five inches of rain during the last three or four days, culminating to-day in a severe southeaster, were manifest throughout the east side cities and Alameda County | by numerous reports of damage to streets, roads and s rs, washouts, in- | terruption of telegr and telephone | communication and disturbance to cross- bay traffic. But great benefit results to | farmers to offset these minor troubles. | So far as Oakland was concerned there | was nothing of a serious nature in the many reports of sewer breaks and flood-i ings that reached the Superintendent of Streets’ office. A break.was reported. in | the culvert at Forty-ninth street and Broadway, washing out 700 feet of side- walk and ‘turning an fmmense volume of | { storm water into the street. At Bay place and Twenty-fourth street | | Cemetery 'Creek overflowed, flooding tht[ area in front of the Piedmont house. Fourth avenue, from Hopkins street to Eest Eighteenth, was impassable from | overflow. power- At Thirteenth avenue station the main sewer gave away. Theer were strect caves on Twenty-sev- east of Telegraph avenu East Seventeenth street, between Twen- ty-second and Twenty-third avenues, and in the Twelfth-strect sewer at Peralta street, The streams tributary to Lake Merritt ran banks full, emptying an immense vol- une of water into the lake, which has filled since the storm began at the rate of six inches cvery twelve hours, Indian Gulch, draining Trestle Glen, overflowed.into Fourth avenue, washing out much of the thoroughfare. A Contra Costa Water Company’s truck and horses were dropped into a sudden break in Twenty-seventh street, near Tele- graph avenue, and the horses were with difficulty pulled out of the cave, which was caused by settling of the newly ma- cadamized thoroughfare into an aban: doned well. The unusual rainfall has proved to be of inestimable value to the Contra Costa Water Company. Lake Chabot, the main source of supply for Oakland, has filled very rapldly during the storm, and to-day is within four feet of its capacity. ‘Lhe lake rose to-day at the rate of an inch an hour. The company’s men have arranged to put. the flood gates and’ overflow tun- nels in operation at once. That the lake will be filled during the coming twenty-four hours there is little doubt. This means that danger from a possible water famine is eliminated for three years. The narrow gauge ferry boat Encinal was unable to make a landing at Alameda mole on the 10:15 o'clock tiip from San Francisco this morning. The steamer was tossed against the siip piles, smash- ing things right and left. "After vainly attempting to put the boat under the apron, the captain backed out and landed his passengers at Alameda Point. Then the line was tied up until 2:15 o'clock, when the train left Fourteenth and Web- ster streets for the mole. Meanwhile, the wind having moderated, the broken piling was cleared away and travel resumed via that route to San Francisco. Except for some scratching, the Encinal was uninjured. The steamer Berkeley had one of its flag poles on the upper deck carried away this morning. No oth- er damage was done. The rainfall in Oakland for the twenty- four hours ending at 1 p. m. to-day was 1.81 inches, and for the storm 4.98 inches, making a total of 9.53 inches for the month and 1 inches for the winter, | against 20.06 inches to the corresponding date last vear. From the interior of the county reports are of abundant rain, overflowing creeks and some damage about Niles to almonds. Otherwise the county’'s crops, sgrain, fruit and vegetables promise to be abund- ant. Conditions in the Livermore Valley are unusually good, The rain insures feed and pasture for stock until late during the summer. POINT RICHMOND SUFFERS.
