The storm struck Independence at a little before 5 o'clock and wrought great destruction; fences were torn up, barns wrecked, houses leveled, and trees uprooted. Nearly all the business houses were unroofed and the plate-glass smashed. The depot of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway is said to be a wreck. Fonda's and O'Brien's stores were unroofed, as was also a livery stable, and report says that a bridge across the river was injured. ..
