Description
Four families were forced to evacuate their homes. “At Maple, a garage where a baby usually plays was demolished while the baby was being attended by his mother in the house.” Pieces of trees were seen blowing around in clockwise circles. A beam went through the roof of a house and landed on a bed. A woman in King Township noticed a black funnel aloft and travelling fast over her farmhouse at about noon. She saw it head to the southeast.
