[californiadisasters] 1923 Berkeley Hills Firestorm, 9/17/2013, 12:00 pm



Reminder from:   californiadisasters Yahoo! Group
 
Title:   1923 Berkeley Hills Firestorm
 
Date:   Tuesday September 17, 2013
Time:   12:00 pm - 12:00 pm (GMT-08.00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Location:   Alameda County - East Bay Hills
Notes:   On this date in 1923 a fire began in the Berkeley Hills on the inland side near the summit.

Driven by powerful Diablo Winds it roared up over the summit and down into the City of Berkeley where it consumed 584 homes and 56 other structures.

The firestorm was stopped in the same manner as the 1991 Oakland Hills Firestorm; the sea breeze finally kicked in.
