FREAK OF STORM

One unusual freak performed by the recent storm here which was reported today was the removal of a rowboat fastened by a chain at the rear of the Niemi residence.
 The wind, tugging at the boat, caused the chain to break and the boat was tossed across the street into the Granberg lot and behind a fence.
 Another casualty of the high wind was the complete destruction of the glass-enclosed porch of the Granberg mouse on H street.

My first chance to be resourceful and help
