North Side of the Square - June 17, 1882 - The GRINNELL CYCLONE, a powerful tornado originating in the Grinnell area, passed through Henry County & Mount Pleasant. Notice the people on the roof of the Union Block & the massive hole in the roof. But…with some humor, "The Free Press", reported…"The loss of about half the ceiling of Union Hall has improved its acoustic qualities. The singing and speaking of the college exercises [which were held on Monday the 19th] sounded clearer and plainer than ever before"
