A force 12 gale combined with a 32ft tide, far higher than expected, created a mammoth 2,000-acre lake in and around Fleetwood.
Only the high ground around The Mount escaped the devastation.
More than 1,200 homes were wrecked and all roads between Lord Street and Harris Street were totally submerged.
Dead pigs, sheep and dogs littered tram tracks, while the vacant ground off Styan Street and Dock Street, near the Wyre Dock crossing, became a huge timber pond, full of pitch-pine logs - the remnants of Alex Keay’s once thriving box-making business.
Blackpool was also pictured on October 31 of the same year, the pier boards were smashed to pieces and there was damage to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
