Thunder and hail storm devastates plains near Sidney
A severe thunder and hail storm sweeps the Divide between Bidoey and the South Platte, driving antelope, flooding washes, and leaving ice and water across plains. Riders seek shelter on the prairie as wind shifts from south to cold north, with one man killed by lightning near Gonzales. The storm racks nearby towns and brings heavy hail, transformed by the wind into a perilous, dramatic scene on the western plains.
