Hurricane Sadie

Hurricane Sadie was a hurricane that was the size of France and had wind speeds of at least 110 km/h. While Elwood City avoided a direct hit, the hurricane caused flooding on several places, including the Katzenellenbogan River. The Army Corps of Engineers was called in to help clean up the damage.

The central portion of Elwood City was spared a direct hit from Hurricane Sadie, but many of the remote regions suffered serious damage, and there were isolated instances of major damage within the city proper. Despite having been boarded up, the Ice Cream Shoppe suffered major damage due to a fallen tree and was closed for an extended period while it was repaired. The Crosswire Estate suffered a major power outage and was heavily flooded, forcing its residents into a temporary shelter. The home of Kaylie Lamott and her mother was almost completely destroyed. A number of family pets were also displaced by the storm.
