Severe windstorm rips through San Antonio with damage and fear
An unprecedented heat spell across San Antonio ended as a northwest wind of up to sixty miles per hour swept through last evening. The storm toppled trees and awnings, damaged buildings, flooded rooms, and darkened streets, then the wind subsided. A picnic at Hot Wells found shelter as the Baptist Gospel tent and a Mexican band helped reassure frightened guests. No fatalities were reported, but scattered property damage occurred across the city and nearby areas including the Presnalt road and the Eo C N depot vicinity.
