Forget what youve heard about molasses in January. While were enjoying the sudden jump to mild weather, were remembering a sad day with similar temperatures in #NorthEnd history: the Great Molasses Flood took place on this day in 1919. A poorly built storage tank exploded, sending 2.3 million gallons of molasses flooding into the neighborhood. 21 people died. Unseasonable temperature jump (2 F to 40 F in 2 days!) may have contributed to the disaster.
