An item reported that the navy dry dock No. 2 of the navy yard at Brooklyn was such heavy damaged by the latest storm that she probably could not be used for the next two years. The dock bottom moved over a length of around 50 feet and the rain probably caused sagged foundations. The Congress approved the sum of 300.000 US dollars for repairing her. Lucky enough left the cruiser USS Detroit the dock to prevent possible problems by the expected storm.
