July 1930 was one of the hottest and driest summers in the U.S., particularly in the Missouri Valley where severe drought conditions developed. Toward the end of the month state records were set for Kentucky with 114 degrees, and Mississippi with 115 degrees. (David Ludlum)

In addition, a car was totaled when a large oak tree fell on it. A four-wheel truck and tractor parked at the Troup-Callaway Airport were damaged when a wall of a nearby building fell on it. At a hardware store, an employee reported that the winds were so strong they blew pallets across the parking lot. (NWS Atlanta)
