Destructive Georgia Tornado Wreaks Widespread Damage

The path of the late tornado in Georgia, was from 200 to 600 yards wide. The damage done by this besom of destruction to both life and property is simply appalling. Oaks that had withstood the storms of a century were snapped in twain, and carried by the force of the hurricane three-quarters of a mile. Substantially built dwellings went down before the blast as a toy house before the breath of a child. It is impossible to describe the wreck.
