Cyclone Strikes Ada Com Press Plant
A strong cyclone struck the Ada Com Press Company plant yesterday at 3 pm, lifting a roof strip about 100 feet long and 6 to 12 feet wide. The corrugated iron roof was nailed to heavy timbers, some nails pulled, but no other damage occurred. The roof collapse was contained to the building and damage was insured. Weather came from the southwest as a seemingly small whirlwind with cyclonic force. No damage elsewhere.
