Most stone forts were destroyed and metal cannons were thrown more than 100 feet. Not some, but actually every home on the island of Barbados was destroyed.
With all things considered, we have it good. When another storm like that comes through, I hope to not be around. A true storm of the century.
A good read on the Great Hurricane

HUM. If a cannon lands on my property. It can be traced to the owner-are they liable for damages. Can I keep it? Far as reads. I have a sort of hobby reading old books.
We tend to think about problems. There were always problems Posting, internet, telephone, perhaps have made complaining easier.
