A Bit of the Past
Over the years, the Department of Emergency Management has collected a number of photographs of St. Augustine during times of unfriendly weather. These old photos are always of interest to those who have had the opportunity to see them. It is for this reason we have added them to our website. We do not have the exact dates many of these photos were taken, but the general consensus is circa 1940's.
Below are thumbnail versions of these photos. For those who may wish to print a copy and enjoy a bit of St. Augustine history, click on the photo for the printable version.
