The havoc wrought by the tor-
nado of Wednesday night, is com-
plete. Out of a town of 1,000
people not more than a score of
houses are intact, while two-thirds
of the buildings are total wrecks
The storm formed south of Olustee
neer the Texas line, and took a
northeasterly course through a well
settled section. At >S o’clock it
was observed by the people of
Snyder but the usual funnel shape
ed formation was lacking and
though the deep roar was plainly
heard for some time before the
storm broke, many were of the o-
pinion that it was a hail storm.
Within a few minutes the *sky be-
came suddenly dark and a terrific
rain began, lasting seyeral minutes
when it stopped almcstas suddenly
as it commenced. A few moments
of anxious calm followed and then
the .tornado struck, tearing build-
ings to pieces as though they were
paper, Many people who had tho't
to take advantage oi the calm to
seek refuge in cellars were caught
in the streets and between build-
ings ,where some were lifted high
in the air ana dashed to the ground
as though hurled from a catapult,
while others were htiuck by flying
debris and beaten almost beyond
recognition. Those who remained
in their houses fared no better in
the path of the tornado, which
swept across all excepting a few
blocks in the southeastern part of
the town. The frame buildings
collapsed like eggshells, burying
occupants under the eebris, killing
crushing and maiming.
