Reports from Proaper Minnesota Panquillo Iowa and Mud Creed Kansas mention unusual cyclone effects. A funnel storm lifted a mule in Proaper and dropped it unharmed though its hind feet shocked a dog. Feathers flew from poultry in Panquillo while goose and turkey feathers swapped sides in a whirling cloud. Farmer Hunter near Mud Creek saw wheel hubs ripped off as the storm roared past. In Boomer Dakota a cyclone upset a bucking bronco then vanished after a brief clash with the animal. No cyclone has visited Boonton county since this incident.
