“What has been is what will be,and what has been done is what will
be done;there is nothing new under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 1:9

On June 9, 1955, a fire broke out at a shop on the corner of Ocean Terrace and DuPont Avenue in Seaside Heights. Driven by 50 mile per hour winds, the fire spread south, until it was finally placed under control at Stockton
Avenue in Seaside Park ... the fire destroyed three blocks of the boardwalk.

Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
