Record Storm (Universal Newsreel, Jan 1963)

Description

The original release sheet reads: RECORD STORM: UNITED STATES AND EUROPE HIT BY BLIZZARDS New year roared in with a storm voice that was heard around the world. North America as well as Europe was subject to record-breaking cold waves and snow. Bangor, Maine was blanketed under 36 inches. In Europe, the palm trees in Barcelona, Spain, were snow covered. Britain, Ireland, and northern Europe suffered more severely. BRENTWOOD HOMES COLLAPSE: LANDSLIDE WRECKS WEST COAST HOMES Creeping disaster has spelled the doom of a dozen homes on a hillside in Los Angeles. Built on a layer of sixty foot deep fill, two of the homes are slipping from their foundations and threaten to carry away a dozen homes on the hill below. All of the houses (all in the $45,000 class) have been evacuated and a heavy rain could carry a score down to the valley. SKI MEET AT BEAR MOUNTAIN Spectators converge on the ski jump at Bear Mountain, New York, for the 18th annual Torger Tokle Memorial Jump. Named in honor of the U.S.'s greatest skier who was killed in the war. The meet brings together the cream of the eastern skiiers. Thrills galore before Dan Schambach winds up as king of the hill.
