Lugert, Oklahoma
The town of Lugert was founded in 1901 on 80 acres (320,000 m2) in Kiowa County, Oklahoma. In the town, there was a general store that housed the Post office and sold dry goods, school supplies, groceries, harnesses, axes and much more. At the height of its prosperity the town had a bank, two hotels, two pool halls, two restaurants, a saloon and a lumberyard. On April 27, 1912, at approximately 12:30 p.m. a tornado hit Lugert, then a town of 300 inhabitants. Three people died in the tornado and 41 of the 42 business buildings in the town were swept away. In 1927, Altus built a 458 ft (140 m) dam, 27 feet (8.2 m) high, across the North Fork of the Red River for a source of city water, flooding the town of Lugert.
