Altona twister. Spring made her presence known at Altona on Easter Sunday in the form of a devastating tornado that cut a swath through the community. No deaths or injuries were reported but more than 30 homes were damaged and gravestones (shown above) were upset in a nearby cemetery. Losses were expected to reach an estimated $100 000. The tornado was the earliest yet recorded in this part of North America.
