A tornado ripped: through the southern section of Kokomo today, damaging buildings and uprooting trees. The same area was leveled by a 1942 storm. Residents said they were awakened about 1 a. m. by what sounded “like the roar of a train,” accompanied by heavy rainfall, They ran to their basements as the storm sent ‘trees crashing and whipped roofs of buildings through the air. No one was injured, police said.
