Surprise Gale
Along Eastern
NEW YORK, Oct. 14 (R')—A wild and growing sneak gale
lashed the eastern seaboard today, roaring north along the
hurricane lane from the Carolinas to Canada.
Flood damage mounted as the storm deluged a dozen
states. Rainfall already had topped the five-inch mark in
some areas.
In the path of the menacing storm lay New England and
Pennsylvania, where some com
munities still were rebuilding af
ter last August's dbath-dealing
hurricane floods.
The storm
Born Suddenly
The storm was born suddenly
in the southeast Thursday after
noon in a collision of cold western
air and warm southern moisture.
There was little advance warning
as it shrieked north at about 20
miles per hour.
It was described by the Wea
ther Bureau as an "extra tropical
cyclone" that is a nontropical
gale spawned differently than a
hurricane but with some .of its
less severe characteristics.
