Tornado and Flood Devastate Nebraska and Iowa

A TERRIBLE tornado swept over Nebraska and Iowa, Tuesday night, July 4. Rockdale, near Dubuque, was washed out, and forty-two persons were drowned. At Burlington, Iowa, thirty buildings were wrecked, and several persons were killed. At Dubuque, the rain commenced falling about 10 o’clock and continued for three hours, with a solid sheet of water, accompanied with thunder and lightning, making the worst storm ever experienced. Houses were carried down stream by the torrents, and their occupants drowned.
