| A Tornado in Alabama |
|
A gentleman from Montgomery, Ala., states that that
section was visited by a violent tornado, on the night of Dec. 27th.
It commenced west of the city, and raged along the whole extent of
the Montgomery & West Point Railroad. The woods were prostrated. A
railroad bridge twenty miles east of Montgomery was blown down. At
Auburn the storm raged with great fury. A large number of houses
were demolished or unroofed, and some fifteen persons were killed.
At Opelika several buildings were demolished, and two or three lives
lost. The amount of damage done by the storm was immense. |
