Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Evening World, July12, 1910, p. 1. STORM SWEPT Monroe County Hit Twice Within Twenty-four Hours. A terrific electrical wind and rain storm passed over the south portion of the county about three o'clock Monday afternoon. In the Adams' quarry district, the storm appeared to be the most severe. The wind reached a velocity of 45 miles an hour and the rain descended in torrents for almost 30 minutes Further to the southeast the intensity of the storm was more noticeable. Trees were uprooted, fencing blown down and wheat shocks scattered promiscuously. Corn was laid flat and the growing crops, especially fruits of all kinds suffered untold injury. At Clear Creek station just one mile north of the quarry district there was hardly sufficient rainfall to lay the dust. Again at three o'clock this morning a severe electrical storm accompanied by high winds, passed over Bloomington. The rainfall amounted to almost a deluge, and no little damage was done to the fruit crop by the prevailing high wind.
