physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
17 workings within 5 miles of Newberry Historic District: 8 past producers, 8 producers, 1 unknown.

Newberry, the town this property stands in, in 29 storm reports between 1996 and 2023: 18 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 heavy rain, 1 lightning.
The reports record 1 injury. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A possible tornado touchdown was reported near Newberry. Trees and power lines were blown down by storng wind gusts. One person was injured in an apartment complex.
Thunderstorm wind knocked down powerlines onto CR-235 at the intersection of CR-235 and 5th Ave in Newberry. This led to the closure of CR-235 at this intersection.
Large tree limbs and fence material were blown around by strong winds. The time of damage was based on radar. The cost of damage was unknown, but it was estimated for the inclusion of the event in Storm Data.
A Kangaroo Express employee was traveling east of Newberry and experienced hail penny to pea size along County Road 235. The time of the event was based on radar.
