Storm Causes Damage in South Part of Worth County

A Saturday night storm caused wind damage in the southern portion of Worth County. The weather radio went off that evening reporting winds of as high as 70 miles per hour near Rosendale. Ted Findley reported that the winds blew down trees on his property that night. Tank Parman reported that a shingle blew off his roof and a lot of branches blew off of his trees. Sunday night, a tornado watch was issued, but nothing major happened in the county. Rain gauge reports ranged from a quarter to a half inch of rain. Most of the storms missed the area to the south and northwest.

Julia Wideman reported that Mike Wideman had property damage as well. She said that they thought a small tornado took the roof off of his hay shed. Debris was scattered for 1/4 mile north of the shed and splintered 2X6 boards were driven into two different ponds.
