Destructive Storm Hits Pine Bluffs with Flood and Wind
The Cheyenne Tribune reports a powerful storm struck Pine Bluffs at 6 o'clock Monday evening. Heavy rain deluged the surrounding country up to four feet in places while the depot chimney collapsed and the building suffered damage. A house under construction fell, a barn was swept away, and nearby culverts failed delaying trains. The narrow storm path spanned four miles and lasted about forty minutes, leaving witnesses terrified.
