last night and tonight swept the entire
Florida peninsula, doing damage esti

ritory south of Jacksonville has been
without communication with the out
side world for more than 24 hours.
Last reports told of hurricane winds
and rapidly falling barometers, The
orange crop in that territory and vast
trucking industries probably are
ruined.
Along the Eastern coast many lives
are believed to have been lost and the
property damage is believed to be
great
The maximum wind velocity, 70
miles an hour, was recorded here at 7
o’clock tonight, when the center of the
disturbance, appeared to have passed
up the Atlantic coast toward Savan
nah. Mavcock, at the mouth of the
St. Johns river, experienced a wind of
80 or 90 miles an hour and half the
house's there have been wrecked, The

with any point south of Jacksonville,
except St Augustine, since late today,
and all wires north but one were sev

A heavy downpour accompanied by
high winds is reported
At St.
Augustine houses in the business sec
tion were flooded at low tide with
promise of immense damage to busi
ness property when the high tide came
in. The city is in darkness, a gale
still blowing, and at 6 o'clock the seas
were over the sea wall.
Not a word has come from Tampa
since 4:20 a. m., and the telegraph
companies do not expect to restore
communication before tomorrow, The
damage will be the greatest in the in-
terior, where the storm came upon the
people with little warning.
