Frankenstorm: Survivors
“The entire community of Samoa and the whole northern peninsula on which it was nestled were submerged, as were the sparsely populated Indian Island in Humboldt Bay and Woodley Island adjacent to it. On Woodley, the bar and restaurant that looked out on the marina were flooded and destroyed. So was the National Weather Service station and the nearby Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District.
Most of the boats in the harbor had been moved or put in dry dock in preparation for the s...torm, but not all. Some had simply been tied down. But none were safe from the storm. Many of them would next rest on dry land in the middle of town, or in someone’s front yard.
Beyond the two islands, Humboldt Bay opened into Arcata Bay, but now there was no discernible difference between the two because both had expanded and flooded inland, covering the Eureka-Samoa Bridge and flooding into Old Town.
The proud turret on the Carson Mansion was ripped out like a tooth by the storm and came to pieces as it tumbled through the air.MoreLess
