THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Wild Weather Hits Indiana, Damage Heavy By United Press International Wild weather hit Indiana with a one-two punch of strong winds and heavy rains today, and mild March readings vanished in a temperature plunge expected to * deliver rbad-block-ing snows upstate. More than 24 hours of rather steady rain poured up to nearly four inches of precipitation on some parts of the broad river valley areas of Southern Indiana. Howling winds of more than mere capricious velocity felled power lines- and utility poles, sent roadside advertising signs rolling across the countryside like tumbleweeds, and caused scattered heavy damage. The rains in many areas were the heaviest .since midsummer of 1963. Forty-eight hour rain totals up to 7 am. today included Louisville 4.17, Bedford and Cincinnati 3.67, Indianapolis 1.80, Vincennes 1.93, Rushville 2.50, Evansville 3.62. . Terre Haute. 1.25, Columbus 2.08, Muncie 1.73, Bloomington 2.36, Petersburg 328, Knightstown 2.20, Anderson 1.63, Hartford City 1.29, Elwood 1.49, Winchester 1.84, West Baden 3.07, and Bluffton 1.06. Temperatures slid from the 50s and 60s to the 20s and 30s by dawn today, and the slashing, wind-driven rain tufned to snow. Upstate areas around the southern tip of Lake Michigan were expected to get more than four inches of snow by this afternoon, drifting to make driving hazardous. The snow and drifting area extended all the way across the northern 20 to 25 per cent of the state. ( Lows down to 17" above zero was forecast for tonight. The heavy rains washed out a Pennsylvania Railroad bridge north of Jeffersonville, wrecking. a freight train and injuring brakeman L. B. Foster of New Albany. Ten of the 50 cars were derailed. Severe storm warnings were hoisted officially by the weather bureau Wednesday afternoon fcr a cluster of counties between New Albany and Colutnbus and extending eastward to Madison. But wind damage appeared to be the heaviest in the Evansville area which was outside the danger zone. Winds with gusts measured at from 45 to 50 miles per hour velocity grounded several power lines in the EvansviDe area. An aluminum storage
