UNUSUAL VISITATION
WHIRLWIND IN THE NORTH By Telegraph.—Press association. Te Awamutu, November 19. A whirlwind or some other unusual visitation occurred to-day during a heavy rain storm. Settlers along Frontier and Punui Roads heard a very loud noise and before they realised the cause, branches of trees were wrenched off and were scattered along a path several chains away. The whirlwind appeared to tarevl due southward, just missing Mr. . Burns’s cowshed and crossing Frontier Road to Mr. Nicholson’s farm, where a cowshed was completely demolished and part of the milking plant twisted. Than the pine trees on Mr. Whitton’s farm were split, and boards and sheets of corrugated iron from the front of his big shed were strewn about. The path of the storm was only about a chain wide and it extended for over a mile before being _ spent in the direction of Te Mawhai railway station.
