TREES TORN UP
TORNADO IN TARANAKI HAIL STORM AND THUNDER Press Association NEW PLYMOUTH, Wednesday. A tornado swept the Onaero district north of Waitara, during a severe thunderstorm this afternoon. Sweeping up from the sea in a zig-zag course it wrought havoc on a number of farms, razing belts of trees and damaging barns and other buildings. The fury of the tornado was shown in a gully, the sides of which were clothed with heavy native hush. The trees were uprooted en masse, the roots lifting the earth with them so that the hillsides afterwards presented the appearance of having been the subject of a big landslide. The storm raged furiously for some time and hailstones of an unusually large size pelted down.
