FIERRO FURNITURE STORE 77 NORTH WYOMING STREET Storm Damage Severe Here Following a day of torrid heat, driving rain and thunder storm swept over Hazleton at 8 o'clock last night and left much destruction in its Overflowing er lines damaged many properties and a bolt of lightning that knocked off a chimney and ripped away a small sector of the roof home of Steven Roman, 540 Hayes street, caused double damage when the bricks landed on the family automobile parked along the residence. At Beaver Meadows a section of the P. P.

L. Co. line along Penrose street was damaged, but a repair force from Hazleton righted the trouble early today. The temperature of 83 dropped 20 degrees as a result of the storm. Great indignation was expressed by residents of South Cedar street, where the sewer again backed up, causing several feet of water to fill basements and cellars of homes.

This blockade has occurred several times this spring and summer and personal complaints have been made to city hall authorities, to the city engineer's office and to the street highway department. Damage suits are now threatened by property owners there. Along Broad street the water overflowed curb lines and some stores had minor damage. Backing up of sewer waters, due to the torrent. rains caused general complaint throughout the city, but in some cases the situation was unavoidable.

A crew of city highway workers was busy until after midnight opening sewer inlets on Hazleton Heights, East Diamond avenue and other Foreman Tony Moran reported that debris was piled several feet high at some places thus causing a heavy overflow of water onto properties and necessitating the detouring of motor traffic.
