| Summary: | An article about the storm ("Storm Kills Two in Alabama, Georgia") was published in the Birmingham News on April 12, 1939. Excerpt from the piece: "An electric clock at the Merchants & Farmers Bank was stopped at 11:47 a.m. when the power lines fell before the winds. First section hit was a knoll on the southeastern edge of the city, where three houses were smashed and a Negro Baptist church flattened. Next in the twisting path was the Episcopal Church, which was left a mass of wreckage, as the storm beat a path one block wide through the residential section. Trees were uprooted and outbuildings whirled away. All communication lines were torn down." (The image is damaged due to deterioration of the original negative.)
