LAST NIGHT’S STORM.
One of the worst electrical storms ,yet experienced passed over this district last evening. . The sky was overcast with heavy black clouds, and the countryside was lit up, intermittently, with flashes of sheet lightning. Rain fell in torrents as the storm centre approached. Sheet and fork lightning zig-zagged in all directions, and the cracking reports followed by the reverberating peals of thunder, caused the air to tremble, and windows to rattle. The storm lasted about an hour, and during that period one resident counted ,403 distinct flashes of lightning. The warring elements presented a weird and awe-inspiring sight. So far as we are able to ascertain, no material damage to property was done.
