Description
Photograph of "St. Joseph's, Lanikai, April 1, 1946. Taken after the tidal wave. Right - Kitchen intact
also chapel beyond it. Center - Lanai demolished
Left - Bedroom wall on three sides fell after this picture was taken, leaving only an inner back wall which was also badly damaged. Sand carried up on the lawn shows how far water came. The wave which caused most of the damage seen rushed through the house and out the doors on the opposite side of the house causing considerable damage en route."
