From The Indianapolis Star, Monday, July 13, 1925: One of the most terrifying storms that has ever visited Indianapolis enveloped the city in darkness and eighty mile an hour winds late yesterday afternoon forcing Sunday pleasure seekers in parks and downtown districts to quickly seek shelter. The trail of wreckage and untold damage left in the wake of the storm included paralyzed streetcar and electrical service from downed wires, shattered windows in many sections of the city, and endangered motorists by high water. An estimated 300 large stately trees from Crown Hill Cemetery over to Irvington were uprooted and in outlying areas acres upon acres of corn were flattened. Police and fire headquarters were inundated with calls, and every fire engine and truck were out on a call. While many citizens experienced shaken nerves, there was no loss of life.
