along the Arkanaas-Missouri line
and farm houses were leveled and
barns bowled over. Trees were
whipped down and torrential rains
blew in horizontal sheets.

Tossed Through Air
Sam Light, a merchant, reported
the wind lifted him off his feet
as he walked along the street, and
dropped him on the next hill un
injured after giving him a bird’s
eye view of the destruction.
Trains were flagged in many
directions to prevent going into
creeks and rivers where trestles
and bridges had been damaged or
washed away.
Guardsmen are in several areas
preventing looting.
