Storm Freaks

Centreville Press – Reporter

Doctor Cooper Nicholson’s House in Brent

It seems with every tornado a lot of freakish things always happen and ours Sunday night was no exception.

A 10-inch pine splinter was driven into a brick wall at Brent Banking Company.  Numerous reports about widows being blown out while bottles sitting on the windowsills remained untouched.

Several reports came in about pine needles being driven into pine trees.  Some reported that their entire homes were destroyed while things like eggs were not broken.

One report came in that a cancelled check out of the Brent Banking Company was found on the streets in Gadsden.

Several houses, while not destroyed, were filled with lumber, cotton stalks and dirt without any doors or windows being opened.

The freak tales continue to mount as the hours go along.  These interesting side items always occur around tornado stricken areas.
