At this time it was raining pretty hard, but not unusually so.
 q was very busy starching and iron ing and had not noticed any cloud gath ering.a The first I knew of it was when my sister-in-law called to the children, who were in the front, and myself to come over to her house quick and get in the cellar The children started and were almost to the fence, and I had just got ten off the porch when the cyclone hit us. Something it must have been the wind, knocked me down and also the children. "Alma and my little boy were both blown a long distance, about 40 or 90 feet, and Alma was hit in the back of the head with a brick 1 don't know hardly how l did it. but l knew my children were helpless and 1 started for them.

I got to Alma. The brick had hit her in the head and it was bleeding Her ear was also bleeding. l got both Of them in front of me and hugged them to me, and made my way to a little bush or sapling about as big as your arm. 1 kneeled on the ground with my pack 10 the wind, the children in front of me- anu my arms around them with my hands clutching the bush.
 q suppose it was a few minutes, but it seemed like hours to me, as l hung on to that bush and the wind blew. Ihe air was black with bricks and rocks, while great big heavy timbers and lum- Der were sailing over our heads. There were all sorts of things An the wind ana the noise was awful, while all the time the rain was coming down in torrents.
 "When the wind slacked up I began calling for help. Pretty soon one of the neighbors came and helped me to a pile of wood, which in some way had not been moved by the wind, while things some of them heavier all the way around it had been blown away. There l sat on the wood holding Almas head. She was unconscious until the doctor came.
 My house was twisted and shattered but we managed to get into one room. Shortly after getting there the train for Birmingham was ready and we took Alma to it. Everything looked so awful. Near ly everything was torn to pieces. My house was one of the few places that was not absolutely ruined, but it was almost completely so. The clothes had been starching and ironing fell into the fire, while all the bricks in the chimney had toppled out.
 Nearly everybody was hurt more or less, but I was so worried about Alma that I didn't notice other things much. One large family across the street from us were all in their house when the cyclone came. Their house was blown to pieces, while they were in it, and although there were a lot of little chil- dren, none of the family was hurt
 My sister-in-law was standing in her doorway calling to us when the cyclone came. I haven't seen her since and don't know whether she was hurt or not. My husband was working at the Red Star mine, about three-quarters of a mile from our house, but he was not hurt, although a pole or a tree or something was blown across his wagon"
