STORM IN COUNTRY
LIGHTNING HITS POST OFFICE MILITARY CAMP FLOODED (Special to THE SUN) HUNTLY, To-day. A severe thunderstorm passed over Te Hoe, 15 miles from Huntly, on Tuesday. The Te Hoe post office suffered from the effects of lightning, the telephone being blown right off the wall. The postmistress received a severe shock, but was not seriously injured. Two telegraph poles near the post office were broken in halves. The county engineer says that very bad slips have occurred on the Huntly West Road, and the road is entirely blocked. The military camp near Ngaruawahia was like a sheet of water. The stock in many shops suffered considerably, as did the gardens in the town.
