New Orleans, 0*'t. 5.?This a
% .
region was today the center of 0
cyclonic disturbances, at least j,
three of which were tornadoes, h
and caused the loss of six live?,
with nine persons fatally injured. ^
About daylight heavy storms f,
broke throughout the country ?
within 100 miles west, north 0
and east of New Orleans. To- p
night reports of sugar cane and r
col ton crops blown down or sugar a
mills demolished are coming in ],
from this entire section, while h
damage, including that done in
New Orleans is placed at over ^
1 ^ .$1,000,000. The worst tornado 0
was north ot New Orleans, it a
devasted portions ot three par- v
ishes. New Orleans was visited f
by another tornado, and another j
passed northward of Biloxi, on ^
the Gulf coast. h
The first tornado struck west of j
Baton Bodge parish about G o'clock,
killing Mrs. Theo Forest t
and her daughter, Mrs. White. t
Mrs.Forest's body was found in a ^
field near her demolished hou>e. a
Two children in Mrs. Forest's e
house were fa'ally injured and t
five men were injured in theh
collapse of a sucar retinerv on I.
persons were injured there.
Another tornado struck New ^
Orleans about 8 o'clock. Whi'e t
no lives were log* here, property >
damage reached $50'),000, and -j
about 50 persons wer>> injured.
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
