A storm that blew through Marion at about 6:35 p.m., Sunday night damaged Marion Feed Mill, knocked down trees and created power outages.
The dust collector on the roof of the feed mill above the mixers was blown down, leaving a gaping hole the roof. Heavy rains continued following the wind storm, perhaps creating water damage inside the rear area of the mill.
Owner Charlie Hunt said there will be no feed mixing at the mill on Monday. He hopes to make enough repairs to begin limited grinding by the end of the day Monday. It could be several days before the mill is fully operational again. The front part of the mill – the retail store area – was not damaged and will be open for business on a normal schedule.
