Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›She's Glad It Missed Her-- The worst hailstorm in this town's history yesterday wrought damage estimated at more than $500,000 and injured three persons. A twenty minute barrage of hailstones, some 13-inches in diameter, tore roofs apart, killed dogs, and cats and chickens, wrecked cars and smashes windows. Ellen Wilson holds one of the mammoth hailstones that she said, "just missed me". Kemptville is 30 miles south of Ottawa.
