Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 70, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 November 1918 — THANKSGIVING WEATHER WAS PUNK [ARTICLE]

THANKSGIVING WEATHER WAS PUNK

• A ’heavy rain fell during the early morning Thursday, continuing at intervals the greater part of the forenoon, and a heavy wind that developed into a gale started at about 8 or 9 o’clock and continued during the entire day, only ceasing when the shades of night fell. This wind probably did considerable damage in the aggregate over this section of the country, although no instances of more than minor damage have been reported at this time. Some of the tile roofiing was blown off the court house, some billboards demolished, limbs broken off trees, etc., etc., itni Rensselaer. Taken all together it was the most disagreeable day, so far as the weather was concerned, that we ever remember for Thanksgiving.
