Windstorm Hits H Betaa Area With Severe Damage
The Friday night windstorm devastated the H Betaa neighborhood blowing down trees overturning small buildings and smashing a top buggy against a five foot fence. Dr Will Smith described it as a cyclone lifting a new buggy into his yard and damaging his barn roof while nearby Wim Russell’s LaPrairie area saw extensive destruction. About 300 buggies were gathered in LaPrairie on Sunday to view the wreckage and a group from Lacon Sparland and Chillicothe joined Henry Island trips for a relief outing. Other items note store moves and local residents traveling for visits and work with several relocations around Lacon Toluca and Wyomings.
