Hail Broke 40 Windows at New School, Killed Pig, June 29, 1924

Storm Damages Still Coming Into Durham

Belated reports reaching the city from the country districts tell of the damage wrought by the driving storm last Tuesday which has not been equaled in the past 10 years in this vicinity.

Reports from Lowe’s Grove state that over 40 window panes in the new school building were shattered by the storm, which contained hail in the southeastern sections of the county. A resident of the district said Saturday that hail stones were so large that a pig at the school farm was killed by the hail storms in the storm.
