PIANO STORM DAMAGE
A tornado, which followed close on the heels of a severe
rainstorm, struck the small town of Plano, north of Dallas,
early this morning, causing an estimated 100-thousand dol-
lars damage. Hardest hit is a cement block building on the
west side of the business district. Little remains of the
structure which had housed four businesses. J.D. Webster,
owner of an upholster shop, says he wasn't aware his bus-
iness had been hit until he was called about 3:45 this
a morning. He says he can't give an accurate damage
estimate this early.PANEL TRUCK
In another part of the demolished building, Fred Miers,
owner of the Miers Electric Company, goes about the task
of cleaning up h shop. Like Webster, 4= Miers says he
doesn't have any idea how much damage has been done until
he gets the mess cleaned up. A family living across the
street says they didn't see the funnel cloud, but did hearthe howling winds strike the building.
