Fairdale

Spring is here, but as the daily average temperature in DeKalb County rises, a warmer and wetter weather threat emerges: severe thunder storms, tornados and flash flooding.

Clem Schultz said his wife, Geraldine Schultz, is still with him every day, even though she lost her life in a tornado which devastated the unincorporated town of Fairdale in north DeKalb County five years ago.

Jacklyn K. Klosa, 69, of Fairdale, was found at her home, Miller said. Klosa died of injuries she sustained during the storm, Miller said. She was found in a bathroom, clutching her purse, he said.

DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller said Friday that a second person was killed in the tornado that struck Fairdale on Thursday.

There were no tornado warning sirens in the rural residential area, authorities said.
