Fully 800 buildings were damaged, about 75 of which were c v. blown flat. The tornado here appeared at a distance as a cloud sweeping alone the surface of the earth. ( Its course was undulating, some * buildings being skipped entirely !l ( as it bounded skyward. Frequently it demolished verandas ' and fences on one side of the c street while not an object on the H other was disturbed. The cloud 1 occupied several minutes in * crossing the city and hundred? ? of persons who saw and heard it 1 approaching had time to run 1 out of its pathway. The saving of the charity hos- 1 pital from more than nominal damage was attributed to a big gas tank which stood between \ the hospital and the tornado. J1 The tornado struck full against i the tank, which withstood the v shock although its iron sidos 'v were dented bv tlving timbers. n t ? ? * t Do you take The News? I ?s tne at.
