THE WORST DAMAGE: This is what was left of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Karl R. Guthe of 845 Brookwood Pl. after a gas explosion set it afire at the height of yesterday's storm. A tree in front of the house was blown over and its roots snapped a gas main leading into the house. Luckily, no one was in the house at the time of the blast.

SAVED BY FIREMEN: This house, owned by Mrs. Nancy Ashley, at 849 Brookwood Pl., is just west of the Guthe residence which was destroyed by flames. Firemen, pouring water on the sides of the Ashley home, saved it and another home alongside the Guthe dwelling.

ONE WEEK LATER: This is a view of the 800 block of Brookwood Pl. where a furious wind and rainstorm caused extensive damage a week ago yesterday. The ruins of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Karl F. Guthe of 845 Brookwood Pl., which was destroyed after a gas explosion set it afire, are visible between the two fire-scorched houses on the right.

A YEAR'S DIFFERENCE: This is how the spot at 845 Brookwood Pl. appears today a year after the city's "worst" storm. Prof. and Mrs. Guthe sold their house site and final touches are now being applied to a new four-unit apartment house erected there. The Guthes moved to 1407 Ferdon Rd. after their home was destroyed.
