Between 60 and 80 persons were made homeless. . Leo Austin was preparing breakfast when the wind blew up, was carried 100 feet from the wreckage,of her house and ‘was severely cut and bruised. The wind almost disrobed the woman. Her husband received a wrenched back and their two children, Leo, 9, and Dorothy, 4, were bruised siightly. The boy and his baby sister were asleep when the storm toppled the six- room house from its foundation. They were found in the wreckage, clasped in each others arms. / The storm followed & sudden down- pour of rain. Large trees were uprooted and blown like straws for long distances. Residents said pieces of metal. roofing from the Austin home were found a miles from where the hoyse stood. The storm was not withou! freakish angles. A light chicken coop contain- ing three birds was undisturbed by the same quick, destructive blow which | splintered two nearby garages. Mrs. Austl nsaid her shoes were | blown from her feet.
