Farm Buildings Wrecked
A number of miraculous escapes were reported. At the Abe MILLER place it is reported that a man named WHATLEY sensing that the house was about to go left it and made for a barn. Just as he reached the latter he saw it crumble and disappear.

Old residents say that not since 1894 have they witnessed such a terrifying spectacle. It was the third time within a period of three or four years that the Pendleton vicinity was storm swept.
