Tornado Strikes Fonda injuring fourteen and causing heavy damage
A tornado touched down about six miles southwest of Fonda last Saturday evening and struck the town in about one minute. Fourteen people were hurt, three seriously, with property damage over 100000. The southeast part suffered most as wires blew down plunging the town into darkness. Buildings at the Big Four fair grounds were demolished except the grand stand. The McCreery family narrowly escaped injury when their Ford sedan crashed near a barn during the storm, but all members were unharmed.
