VIOLENT STORM.
VIVID ELECTRICAL DISPLAY.
By Telegraph—Press Association,
Th Lines, Last Night. An electrical stoiir of unusual violence occurred this afternoon. Blinding flashes of lightning were followed by loud reports resembling salvoes of artillery. Immediately afterwards rain fell in torrents. One particularly loud crash was followed by what looked like a meteor. It flashed from west to east. A large tree was uprooted and fired. Intermittent .flashes and loud reports continued for some time, causing general consternation.
A report from the back country states that for over an hour the whole of the districts were illuminated.
In one instance an electrical apparatus flashed out as though fused. The weather is now calm, but dull and threatening.
