Huntley experienced one of the worst storms in recent years last .Saturday, June 10, at 4:30. Gale winds up to 70 miles an hour were reported to cause much damage throughout the area. The sky blackened, and when the rain came, it was hard for some ob¬ servers to see acro.ss Main Street.
Much damage was reported dur¬ ing this stomi. A large tree in Marlowe's yard on Church Street was blown down onto Marlowe's porch breaking the porch and two of the upstairs windows. The wind blew out windows at the M&H Dairy Mart and at Seiler's Ser\icc Station. A large tree was also blown down on Woodstock Street. No damage was rejMjrted as  a  result  of this.
For a while during the storm, lights were out in many parts of town.
