SEVERE THUNDER STORMS
(From the Inverness Courier.)
Exactly this day six years—on the 12th of
August, 1846—we recorded one of the most terrific
thunder storms experienced in this district for at least
halt' a century ; and to-day we have to chronicle a
storm perhaps equally severe. On Thursday even-
ing last very heavy rains fell in Strathglass, accom-
panied for some hours with incessant peals of thun-
der, and frequent and particularly vivid flashes of
ligntning. Oa Friday several loud peals broke
over the town; but were followed by only slight
showers. The northern side of the Cromarty Firtb
was on that day visited by a storm which will be re-
membered for many a day. In the morning some
lengthened peals were heard at a distance, which gra-
dually lessened till about one o'clock, when the storm
was right over Aloess, where for nearly two hours the
clouds discharged their contents with terrific fury.
The sky was so heavily overcast that it was almost
as if the sun had ,set. Rain and hail fell in such
torrents the; every road appeared like the channel
of a burn. Happily no accident occurred, except
the destruction of a large ash tree at Millcraig,
which was rent to pieces. A man sitting under a
neighbouring tree for shelter felt the shock. The
electric fluid on entering the ground, caused such a
convulsion, tint it shook a cottage situated close to
the tree, disarranged part of the furniture, and the
occupant, an old woman, was thrown to the ground
either by fright cr by the shock.
On Saturday, shortly after noon, Inverness was
visited with a storm of thunder unparalleled since
that of August, 1846. For two long hours the
flashes of forked and sheet lightning were followed
almost instantaneously by long-continued peals of
hthunder. Rain fell in torrents for nearly
alf-an-hour, and darkened the heavens so as
make: the scene really terrifying. We have heard of
_ ral eases of indisposition occurring from fright.

admission by the
chimney, descending which, it burst the wall above thef
fire-place, and darting across the room, split a chest of
drawers and left the apartment by the window—a few
of the panes of glass in which were broken. The
electric fluid simultaneously entered another apart-
ment in the house, by the same means, and bursting
the side of the wall, it burnt and blackened a clock on
the opposite side of the room, set fire to a chair, and
also made its exit by a window. It may be remarked
