Typhoon GLORIA blows onto Taiwan Shores - 11 September 1963

Typhoon Gloria (1963) was described as the most devastating storm to visit the north of Taiwan in recorded weather history...

Today, more photos from Frank Smith, which depict some of  the destruction that occurred in the Taipei area. 

Note:  Every photo can be viewed much larger, just put your Mouse pointer on the photo and left click on your mouse,  the photo should turn blue color.  

Now, hold down the Ctrl key with your left hand, it's on the bottom left side bottom of your keyboard.

Now,  tap, and continue to tap the plus - + key  on your keyboard until the photo enlarges on your screen, it will continue to enlarge until you stop tapping the + key.  To reduce the size, just hold down the Ctrl key and tap the  minus - key

Try it on this photo.. you'll be surprised how clear you can see these old photos..

 The "Eiffel Tower of Taipei" sat in the front of Taipei Main Station.

More volunteers (Sidewalk Superintendents) show up to help place the pieces back together.
