KING COUNTRY STORM
WHIRLWIND CAUSES DAMAGE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Te Awamutu, Last Night - A whirlwind, or some other unusual visitation, occurred to-day. During a •teary rainstorm, settlers along the Frontier and Pitni Roads heard a very loud noise and before they realised the cause branches of trees were wrenched off and were seatterd along a path several chains away.
The whirlwind appeared to travel due southward, jhst missing Mr.Burn’s'cowshed, crossing the Frontlet Road to Mr. Nicholson’s. There a cowshed was completely demolished and part of the milking plant twisted. Then the pine trees on Mr. Whitton’s farm were split and topped, while the board and sheets of corrugated iron on the front of his big shed were strewn about. The path of the storm was only about a chain wide and it extended for over n mile before being spent in the direction of Te Wawhai railway station.
