Open house today, For sale: 2 story charming hotel with a great view of a scenic lake. Dollhouse like qualities, well ventilated, quick access to street. Fixer upper.
On November 11th, 1913, there was a very bad blizzard, it had hurricane like winds and dropped a good 24" of snow. They named it the "Great lakes hurricane". It had a sustained wind of 79mph that lasted a full minute.
Telephone and telegraph wires, and poles were knocked over, the entire area was cut off from the rest of the state. As you can see there was considerable damage.
You can see why we now have building codes today. Also to note, in today's world, one does not stand in or under a building when the wall falls off. Not even for a selfie.
