[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5476]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Twin torandoes swooped down on this community of some 250 persons early Sunday, damaging and destroying property and flattening crops. Miraculously, no one was injured and no one was left homeless, officials said. Damage estimates ranged up to $200,000. Red Cross investigators said "nearly all" of the approximately 100 homes in the area sustained some damage......It was a night of terror for some. At the Charles Griggs farm, 1 1/4 mile west of Mustang, Griggs said he herded his wife and children, Jean Claire, 13, and Bobby, 11, into the storm cellar. "When I heard that first loud crack of thunder and lightining." The winds picked up a garage 60 to 70 feet away and slammed it on top of the cellar, trapping the family inside......Griggs farm appearently bore the brunt of the storm which struck the neighborhood around 3:45 a.m..........He said his property loss would run in the neighborhood of $20,000 and estimated the damage to crops - barley, wheat and alfafa chopped down by hail and wind at $5,000."
