Description

How young other people coped with the storm of the century – 59 other people died in Minnesota on November 11, 1940 when the worst blizzard ever hit Minnesota swiftly. Violet walked from Seven Corners in Minneapolis to 32nd street with snow over her knees, in subzero temperature, with most effective saddle oxfords and a light wrap. Farmers lost thousands of turkeys – Herb tells of rendering a half million frozen gobblers. Alvin in Warroad barely were given his boat back to the dock. Andy and a group of Iron Rangers, getting ready for deer hunting the following weekend, spent this weekend struggling during the blizzard, barely saving their lives. Dwight, of Marshall, crawled 200 yards to build a fire for a man about to freeze to death. Sherman kept isolated Albert Lea in touch with the sector. Read these stories and plenty of more in All Hell Broke Loose, and enjoy the blizzard.
