WINDOWS SHATTERED
WIND THROWS SHED AGAINST HOUSE Press Association. NEW PLYMOUTH, Thursday. A heavy squall of wind, accompanied by lightning, blew a shed across Molesworth Street to-night and scattered its wreckage about the home of Mr. Bocock. A mass of light wires was blown down in front of Mr. Bocock’s house, many windows of which were broken, glass being scattered across a room in which the family sat. No one was seriously hurt. The disturbance was purely local, although there was an electrical storm over tl>e town, with heavy rain. Four of the eight shops in the course of erection in Devon Street for Mr. Fair of Feilding, were unroofed. The iron covering seems to have been sucked off by the wind and the wooden rafters were smashed into matchwood. The other shops escaped but the double chimney of an adjoining boarding house was blown down and the roof damaged.
