Cyclone Tuesday tears path through woods near Columbus
A cyclone cut a path through woods south of Columbus early Tuesday, uprooting Mivo oaks four feet in diameter and demolishing trees and brush. A barn was unroofed at Tum Alley, structures blown down at Adulf Selmer’s, and the only house in the path was flooded by the storm. The wind also damaged orchards, fences, and several outbuildings as it moved from Bennett place to Byars place, with reports of stronger winds near Choaterville and Sealy.
