Storm Rips Through Michigan Killing Eight and Damaging Property
A severe storm battered Michigan causing eight deaths and extensive property damage. High winds toppled utility poles near the Erie Railroad west of Columbus, blocking westbound No. 1 until poles were cleared. A youth quickly reported the obstruction, averting a possible train wreck. Lightning struck lines, a fire alarm system, and a dairy barn injuring cattle, with damage to a home on East South Street estimated at about 100 dollars. The storm, accompanied by heavy rain, continued for over an hour across the city requiring an emergency response.
