Local Weather History For May 6th...

1969: Three tornadoes occurred in the vicinity of Earth from 3:45 to 7:10 PM. The first tornado was sighted near Bula
around 3:45 PM and was followed by Highway Patrolmen as it moved north-northeast for about 24 miles before dissipating
about two miles south of Earth. At 7:10 PM, a second tornado developed over the east side of Earth and destroyed one house
belonging to Mrs. Phil Clayton, two storage warehouses, garages, and overturned farm equipment. Windows were blown out of
10 to 12 homes and some roofs were damaged. The tornado traveled northwesterly for 1/2 mile from the Earth Dump Grounds to
a wrecking yard owned by Adam Galon and then over a quonset steel building and warehouse. This parent cloud responsible
for the tornado was described as not too frightening by one resident. The tornado was sunlit and appeared white from top
to bottom. The roar of the tornado could be heard at least 100 yards away. Fortunately there were no fatalities or
injuries as many residents observed the tornado from the safety of their storm cellars or from a safe distance. The Myers
Family fled the tornado in their vehicle and returned a short while later just in time to witness another tornado strike;
this time in an open field near their home. This third tornado was described as big and white with a pinkish cast and was
not observed to cause any damage. At 8:05 PM, a final tornado developed; this time much farther south in Terry County
about 1/2 mile west of Wellman. This tornado managed to remain in open country causing no damage.
