The Big Tornado of 2014

In April 2014, a very strong series of tornadoes swept across parts of the United States. Welti was one of the places that felt the impact of these powerful storms.

The Old Covered Bridge

For many years, Welti was home to a special landmark called the Welti Road Covered Bridge. Covered bridges are old-fashioned bridges with roofs and sides, built to protect the wooden structure from weather. This bridge was a beloved part of the community. Sadly, it was burned down on October 22, 1939. Even though the bridge is gone, its memory remains a part of Welti's history.
