tornado. cyclone-it was any or all of tbese-a
wild, wicked, relentless TEMPEST which seemed bent
on the utter destruction Of the city; It came almost
directly from the west with slight Iuclinaton to
he south, and at first directed its strength FGanst
awnings and signs, and hing that lay loose
directions.
