Destructive wind storm sweeps Swea City area
A severe cyclone-like wind storm wrecked barns, windmills and houses across Swea City and surrounding farms. The Cedar Rapids Republican report notes multiple buildings collapsed or damaged, with horses, cattle and hogs spared but livestock losses likely. Among injured was Mrs Huettner, while other families escaped serious harm as roofs and walls were blown away.
