The country around the Slope area suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars damage during the rain. high winds, and heavy hail that fell there about the time it hi~ our north country. It demolished several buildings and damaged countless others. Hailstones as large as hen's eggs caused much damage and terror to residents of the rural areas, smashing windows, and bruising several farmers who were attempting to save some of their possessions from the storm, which played havoc with cars parked outside, badly denting the body and tops.
