Great Flood Of 1888

Disaster / Destruction

1888CE

Flooding results from the melt off from the Great Blizzard of ’88. Coupled with heavy spring rains and offshore storms that drive the sea up the Missituk's estuary, the river swells far over its banks. The worst flooding ever recorded in New Jerusalem causes extensive damage to the riverside mills. Southwestern New Jerusalem is inundated, damaging the basement archives of the University library and destroying irreplaceable acquisitions.
