Incredible Storm Photos: Snow Edition

The Knickerbocker Storm Of 1992

This storm was bad but its collateral damage that makes it even worse. The storm took place on January 27-28 and the last day is when the tragic damage came about. There was a record-breaking amount of snow in Washington (28 inches) as if that isn’t bad enough. But when the storm was settling down, folks decided to catch a show at the Knickerbocker Theatre

“During the intermission, the theater’s flat roof gave way under the weight of the wet snow, and concrete, bricks and metal rained down onto the audience,” History.com wrote. “One of the deadliest in Washington’s history, the disaster claimed 98 lives.”
