High Winds
January 4, 1906
The wind blew great guns in Susanville and Honey Lake Valley last Monday night, played some queer pranks, and did some considerable damage. In town a brick flu was blown down on the Oaks & Philbrook building.
J. Barry lost the roof of his wood house, and the heavy sliding door at the upper livery stable was blown in.
It is reported that a barn on the Sugru place at Howard Flat was blown over, another on the Longanecker place shoved around, and various small out-buildings tipped over in various places.
Two shade trees were blown out by the roots at the Lanigar place, below Johnstonville.
At Standish a rack was blown off the running gear of a wagon, and at Janesville many of the people did not go to bed at all.
It was certainly a high old wind, and the way it shook things up and assisted in the melting snow was a caution.
