1890 - Tornado

IN INDIANA.
Later Reports Show the Loss of Life and Property Increasing.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 31. - Every hour brings additional news of the dreadful results of the tornado which passed over the Ohio valley on Thursday night, and it seems as if the calamity has neglected no community in its work of destruction to property and life. News from all directions is of the most sickening and harrowing.

In Union township, below the city, the waves dashed against the soft band and carried nine farm houses and a crossroads grocery away - not a vestige of any of them is left remaining. Several of the farmers lost most of their live stock. The waves carried off about 1,200 feet of bank.
