extending from Connersville
northeastward to Union City in
Indiana, Leetonia in Columbia
County and Steubenville in Jef
ferson County in Ohio and the
southwestern Pennsylvania area
around Pittsburgh.
Winds up to 92 miles an hour
buffeted much of the area.
The storm struck east central
Indiana shortly after 2 a.m.,
swept on into Ohio and then tore
into Pennsylvania. Buffeting
winds were felt in New York’s
Steuben County.
Wind-driven rain pelted parts
of western Maryland and West
Virginia. A mild squall line passed
out to sea from New Jersey late
Friday morning.
Damage in Pennsylvania was
estimated well in excess of a mil
lion dollars. Damage also was ex
pected to pass the million-dollar
mark in Ohio. Indiana counted
nearly $750,000 damage in two
cities and insurance adjusters say
claims from rural areas will hit
the highest total in recent years.
