Tho tornado Of Sunday night entered tn,
state ct 8 p. m. at Onawa, Monona county
travelinefr nom southwest to northeast at thu
rate OF about fifty miles an hour. Itreached
Sioux City at 1915 and Le Mars at 1O:45
This storm lasted about thirty minutes and
was accompanied by rain and hail. It then
veered to the east and we have heard Of
damage being done as far east as Waterloo
Until 1915 q. IN. it rained when another
tornado from the northwest swept over
Le Mars more destructive than the first,
lasting an hour and hall. This came
from Southern Dakota as far west "a
Yankton. The track, asfar as can be learned
at this time, was in the shape of letter Y,
with the base 1.-THE letter pointing east, the
junction being in Cherokee county, where
the largest amount Of damage was done.
From Onawa by way ofSioux City to Chero-
kee it is nearly eighty miles; from Yankton
to Cherokee it is 12O miles, and from Chero-
kee to Fort Dodge, it is seventy-five miles,
This will give an idea OF the storms course.
The duration OF the storms at Le Mars, was
about an hour and half.
