Storm Wrecks Porches and Sheds at J Gosselink Farm
A severe late season storm struck near Pella on Thursday Aug 10 toppling two farm buildings at the J Gosselink Jr farm northwest of Pella. A northwest wind veered and wrecked the porch and garage roof while oil barrels and tools were scattered. The car and tractor survived, corn was flattened but not ruined, and the porch collapsed in the early morning after the wind ceased. Insurance covered the damage.
