Description:

A dropped pipe on a hay stack would lead to the worst disaster in St. John's history. With high winds, a month of no rain and poor decisions by the city government and fire department, within 12 hours, 66% of St. John's was destroyed, 11,000 were homeless & $423 million (in today's funds) in damages had resulted.
