Tragedy in Cascade and the Tri-State Area - June 16, 1925


What the news services described as "Torrid Weather" covered much of the United States in the Summer of 1925, but as this headline indicates, the northwest experienced snow in June. This was long before the "climate change" fanatics proclaimed that man was responsible for any unusual weather occurrences. 


The stage was set for a frightening weather event that affected all of the Tri-state areas in mid-June. Nearby Cascade, Iowa, southwest of Dubuque was particularly hard hit. 
The City of Dubuque also sustained damage and a Dubuque couple escaped death in Manchester. 


The storm did serious damage throughout Iowa and the Midwest. 



In the next edition of our blog, we'll look at Father's Day 
June 21, 1970.
