WINDSTORM
[Welland Tribune, 19 March 1897]
The windstorm on Friday last was the worst of the season. At noon it reached a hurricane: The smokestack at Brown Bros. mill was blown down; tin-roofing was torn from buildings and hung in ragged strips, playing a merry tune against the siding; lumber piles were scattered in all directions, and from Crow’s yards the boards were lifted into the air and landed into the river with a splash that sent the spray high into the air. The water in the river was high enough to interfere with the running of the mills, but did not reach within several feet the high-water mark of last year.
