It's Tuesday, April 14, 1981 2 Sections - 14 Pages - 25 Cents Powerful wind, rain sweep through area From staff and wire reports Turbulent thunderstorms packing numerous tornadoes at least one near Columbia hammered Missouri Monday night as a spring weather front moved rapidly through the state, bringing high winds, large hail and heavy rain The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for eastern Boone and Callaway counties as the storm moved through the Columbia area around 9pm. Police reported a funnel touched down along VJS 63 about 4 miles north of Columbia at 910 p m East of that area on Wyatt Lane, one trailer home was blown from its anchors No injuries were reported Several funnels were sighted in northwest Missouri, with one repotted near a bridge in northern Kansas City and another sighted along the Missouri- Io-wa state line north of Maryville Another tornado touched down about Zt miles south of Hannibal, flipping over four unoccupied campers at a trailer park, damaging a restaurant and uprooting a tree No injuries were reported. Columbia was not included in any tornado warnings, but city sirens sounded minutes after the sighting north of the city No injuries in Boone County were reported On the University campus, lightning struck Gillett Hall, sending bricks sho-wering to the ground Barricades were set up around the structure to prevent injuries from the debris Flooded sew-- er mams sent water several inches deep into the intersection of Rollins and Hitt streets, and minor flooding was reported in other parts of town Authorities reported guifball size hail in Marshall and winds up to 80 mph near La Monte Police reported numerous downed power lines and trees throughout Mid- Missou- ri, and un-confirmed funnel sightings came in from near Centralia and Fulton around 9 30pm. High winds reportedly damaged one building in Centralia, and Deputy Chief Bill Westhoff of the Boone County Fire Protection District said winds blew the roof from a structure in Harrisburg Lightning apparently sparked brush fires near Prathersville and Roche- por- t, and a bolt knocked KCBJ tele vision off the sir temporarily at 9 25 pjn. According to Jim Patty, coordina-tor of disaster preparedness for Boone County, the roof of a privately owned grain elevator near Hallsville blew off, scattering nearby cattle Boone Electric Cooperative reported power outages throughout its system, particularly along UJS 63, where the tornado sighting was reported Only brief outages were reported in the southern put of Columbia proper According to weather service offi-cials, about 34 inches of rain fell in Co-lumbia Monday, bringing the total since Saturday to 1 01 inches In Northwestern Missouri, the Gen-try County sheriffs office said a funnel snaked through the area Monday night, shattering windows in houses and cars and causing a power outage The tornado also destroyed three barns and two outbuildings and dam-aged three other bams in rural Gentry No injuries from the storm were re-ported A tornado struck a rural area near Oregon in Holt County earlier Monday, driving a tree through the living room wall of a house and destroying two out-buildings and a bam Two occupants of the house escaped injury as the tornado whipped by about 2 30 pjn. The house is about a half- mil- e southeast of Oregon The storm cut a 150- fo- ot swath just a quarter- mil- e from the South Holt R-- l school Just as its 500 students were pre-paring to leave for the day No injuries were reported Authorities reported three funnel clouds were spotted east of Oregon at midaftemoon and near Bolckow, in northern Andrew County The National Weather Service fore-cast partly sunny skies and cool tem-peratures Tuesday with the high ex-pected to be in the upper 50s and low 60s Skies should clear by Tuesday night, and the low should be in the 30s Partly sunny skies and mild temper-atures were forecast Wednesday along with a high In the 60s The extended forecast for Thursday through Saturday called for mild tem-peratures Thursday, with the high in the 70s and the low in the mid- M- s to mid- 50- s Partly cloudy skies and a chance of thunderstorms were ex-pected Fnday BBMBBBW- aBJBaBBMBWBBfcB-BB fc jf- rjPj& fcw- yV J aJiffl!

Gray said his " green- lig- ht progres sion" idea will allow motorists to drive at a constant speed through a series of synchronized green lights He said making Walnut one- wa- y will eliminate the problem that turning left gener-ates " When people are stopped to make a left turn, nobody gets through," He says the progression works on Broadway because that street has three lanes at intersections, eliminat-ing the chance for buildup of impeding traffic Walnut, he says, deserves an equal chance ' One- wa- y gives two lanes, in effect, because you don't have imped-ing traffic " Under Gray's plan, the bus- transf- er point on the north side of Walnut Street would be eliminated, and buses instead would wait in a horseshoe- shape- d pat-tern stretching from Seventh onto Wal-nut and then onto Eighth.
