[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 2d Sunday Our City was visited through the day with a strong gale of wind and Sand which drove inside of all of our log cabins & coverd evry thing with dust.
We had a hay stack burn down on the outskirt of the town situated in such a position that nothing els could burn but had it been in any part of town whare the wind Could have blown the fire in any part of the City it would soon been wraped in flames. The whole town has been in danger of being burnt up all winter. Wind South.
