Cyclone 1878
While very many of memorable proportions could be mentioned, three stand out most conspicuously, two of cyclonic magnitude and one of extreme rainfall.
Cyclone 1914
The most destructive cyclone or hurricane that ever visited this community passed over Oregon about 10 o’clock Monday morning leaving ruin and destruction in its path. It covered a large area and it is estimated that the damage will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. After the storm had passed the village streets presented a sorry appearance. Scores of trees in all part of the village were torn up by their roots or broken off, and in some cases trees were entirely stripped of their limbs.
