Coast Guardsman Fred Stevens of the Charlevoix station, who reported that the wind "blew down trees right and left," said this morning that the station had received no word of distress from out on the lake despite the fury of the storm. The Petoskey Portland cement plant here was damaged to the extent of approximately $10,000 according to John L. A. Galster, president of the company. Galster said lightning hit the plant roundhouse, and that the roofs were blown off other plant build- ings. In Northport, chimneys and trees were blown over and telephone service was disrupted throughout the surrounding rural district. ============================================================================ If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ============================================================================
