Cleveland (OH) Plain Dealer, November 19, 1892, p. 2. WORK OF THE WIND English, Indiana, Struck by a Veritable Tornado English, Indiana, Nov. 18-A tornado that continued almost uninterruptedly during 48 hours increased in force about 3 AM. The location of English in a low valley saved it from serious damage, but almost every window and chimney top in town is wrecked. The whole fronts of the business houses of Joseph Finch, Luther Griss and William Temples were blown in. Though brakes were set to their utmost on cars on the railroad track, every car was driven to the west end where the foremost of them bursted through the bumpers. John Jones and Cassie Forbes, passing over the Blue River bridge, were blown off the bridge a distance of 15 feet, but before they struck the bottom of the river, they were driven eastward a great distance and managed to save themselves. The principal loss will be timber in the surrounding country. On one farm 200 large forest trees were uprooted.

Pat, do you still have these kind of tornadoes? ... terrible.
