Summary: | From accompanying material: Item 6: T30N, R12W, S9 - A small fall on Beaver Creek, standing cedar and hemlock in the bottom and complete prostration of hemlock on the hillside in the background. PH Coll 1422.6 On January 29, 1921, a hurricane-force windstorm struck the Washington coast. So much timber was destroyed that the storm was called "The Great Blowdown." Destruction was heaviest in the west end of Clallam County. The photographs in this collection were likely taken March 22-24, 1921 between the towns of Beaver and Mora, Washington during Governor Louis Hart's tour of the area with state and county officials.
