Severe Winds at Parr

The sudden summer storm of Monday evening appears to have been much severer at Parr than here. It not only rained and blew very hard but there was also some hail. Some considerable damage was done. John McCurtain’s new house, only partly completed, was moved off its foundations. Alfred See’s house was wrenched and twisted, and John Garriot’s barn was torn in pieces. Oats and rye in that neighborhood were laid flat.
