Cloudburst at William Potts Ranch
Last Saturday the ranch of William
Potts. the sheepman of Monitor Valley,
Nye County, was visited by a cloud
burst. 1t is stated that no such food
had occurred in that vicinity in 10 years.
Considering the volume of water that
was concentrated ON one spot the dam
age done was slight. Daring the pre-.
cipitation it appeared as q solid sheet of
water. Within 10 minutes after the
food struck the ranch the surrounding
land was completely submerged and the
water running in all directions. One
dwelling house was carried q distance Of
30 feet. Scores of chickens were drown
ed, and a few pigs failed to make their
escape. The rain continued uninter-
ruptsdly for more than three-quarters
Of al hour.
