Not until morning was the full result of the tornado revealed on and about Sunnyside. Most of the buildings being comparatively new, Hiram found that few had suffered. The sheds were under the break of the hill, anyway; therefore he looked for little misfortune there.
The silo had suffered despite the efforts they had made to stay it with the wire ropes. It had a decided list to the east and was no longer set true upon its cement foundation. The neglect of the carpenters in not staying it firmly before the storm came was a matter that would have to be settled between them and Mr. Bronson. Hiram was glad it did not come under his jurisdiction.
