DISASTROUS WHIRLWIND
ROOFS TORN OFF. TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, February 28. A whirlwind struck the Kaiapoi district at 11 o’clock today and did damage in a narrow strip from Clarkville to Kairaki, a distance of 10 miles, and finished at sea, where a waterspout formed. In parts sheds were lifted from their foundations, roofs were torn off farm buildings and in one paddock a cloverseeder was overturned, also a motorcar was lifted, turned round and deposited in a ditch. There were many terrifying experiences for residents, but no injuries were caused.
