A SEVERE STORM
A BUSH TOWNSHIP NEARLY WIPED OUT.
( Australian Press Association)
{Receivod this day at 12.25. p.m.) SYDNEY, November 9. The little bush township .of GrabbenOullen, near Crookwell, was practically demolished in yesterday’s devastating storm. Almost every home there was unrooted. One home was left with the floor only. The occupants escaped with minor injuries. Furniture was carried down the paddocks. A baby n a perambulator that was over-turned, was deposited in the garden of a near-by huose. All of the outbuildings were wrecked. The tanks and farming implements wore own away. Trees, sheets of iron, and bedroom partitions were carried for miles by the tornado, which left the inhabitants of the place almost speechless.
