Sauk Rapids Storm

Written by Harbor Drive Hookup

Capo on 3

At 4PM on the 14th day of the 4th month
Of the 4th month of 1886
The skies opened up and it rained down hell
It cost 400 Grand just to get it fixed
There were 4 in all the worst an 
For 14 miles it knocked down doors
Killin 72 and hurting 200 more
That's how it happened in the Sauk Rapids Storm

The sky went from dark to absolute black
Then the clouds came down reached out and attacked
it hit the train yard pilin' cars in a stack
Twistin' steel like wire as it tore up the track
The whole thing started right over the lake
Two clouds came together oh the lives they'd take
Killed Lt Gov's horses at his place on the ridge
It Sucked the Mississippi dry and tore down the bridge

It was 4PM on the 14th day of the 4th month
Of the 4th month of 1886
The skies opened up and it rained down hell
It cost 400 Grand just to get it fixed
There were 4 in all the worst an 
For 14 miles it knocked down doors
Killin 72 and hurting 200 more
That's how it happened in the Sauk Rapids Storm

It was black as night with clear sky on each side
It continued down main where so many died
It smashed the courthouse and took the mill for a ride
It went on to Rice where it widowed a bride
With a deafening roar and a crackling sound
The post office and the school came tumbling down
there were so many lost, most which were found
But every building on main was torn to the ground

It was 4PM on the 14th day of the 4th month
Of the 4th month of 1886
The skies opened up and it rained down hell
It cost 400 Grand just to get it fixed
There were 4 in all the worst an 
For 14 miles it knocked down doors
Killin 72 and hurting 200 more
That's how it happened in the Sauk Rapids Storm

The word went out and the help arrived
From Brainerd and the cities they were so surprised
At what they saw and how it all lied
They couldn't save em all, but oh they tried
The nuns at St Ben's worked for 2 days straight
It was the deadliest twister still in the state
72 people had met their fate
                      (Let Ring)
April 14th, 86 was the date

It was 4PM on the 14th day of the 4th month
Of the 4th month of 1886
The skies opened up and it rained down hell
It cost 400 Grand just to get it fixed
There were 4 in all the worst an 
For 14 miles it knocked down doors
Killin 72 and hurting 200 more
That's how it happened in the Sauk Rapids Storm
That's how it happened in the Sauk Rapids Storm
