Deluge from fierce clouds hits town after scorching heat
Storms formed from southwest skies brought two and a half hours of torrential rain and hail around town delaying trains and washing out railbeds. A bolt struck the Akron Cleaning Works chimney, causing brick soot spread but little damage. The Big Sioux River rose four feet while crops benefited overall from the moisture. Total rainfall reached about six inches.
