Decatur, Alabama Storm
March 28, 1902
DECATUR Ala., March 28 -- A severe
wind and rain storm accompanied by hail struck
this place this afternoon, lasting one hour.
Great damage was done. All northbound
Louisville & Nashville trains are laid out here
indefinitely, owing to the washouts and wrecked
bridges. Haywood
Roberts, a white man and
Tom Evans,
colored, were killed by live electric wires
which were blown down.
