Wind, Hail Damage Parts of Martin County, June 11, 1926

Wind and Hail Does Damage in County

The wind and hail storm Saturday evening did quite a lot of damage in the county, In the town of Bear Grass and the surrounding section, many trees were uprooted, and a few houses were damaged by the wind. The hail was heavy in many sections, not severe enough ruin crops, however.

The storm bore to the east and crossed the Washington road, the wind and hail doing some damage. A number of other sections had hard winds, but not so much damage was done

The rain was general over the county, but was light except in the storm region.
