Wind Storm Ravages Huntley On June 25 Damages Farm Service Plant
High winds and rain struck Huntley on Wednesday June 25 causing major damage to the Custom Farm Service liquid Fertilizer plant on Main Street where the second story wall was blown out. Workmen began removing the wall and finishing the storefront enclosure. A downed tree on Church Street knocked out a telephone line and Illinois Bell crews repaired the line and triggered the fire alarm twice. A lightning strike damaged the water pump meter and reduced pressure citywide, an issue since resolved.
